DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE
SPECIES: Lolium perenne | Perennial Ryegrass 



GENERAL DISTRIBUTION : 
Native to Eurasia, perennial ryegrass is widely planted in North America
for lawns and has many agricultural uses.  It occasionally escapes and
becomes naturalized, mostly in waste places and roadsides
[13,39,40,46,57].  It is found from Newfoundland to Alaska, south to
Virginia and California, occasionally farther south [23].  The most
concentrated agricultural use of perennial ryegrass are in the humid
southeastern United States and the Mediterranean and temperate climates
of the Pacific Northwest and California, west of the Cascade Range and
the Sierra Nevada [39,40].
