I am writing to request information regarding Ravenna Grass (Saccharum ravennae) .  

The State of Oregon is writing a risk assessment to use in consideration for potential listing later this month.  

We know of only a very little of this plant in Oregon but it is invasive where it does grow.  It appears that it has a very limited distribution across the west as well.  I would be grateful for any further  information about its distribution in Oregon.  It appears that it has a very limited distribution across the west as well.  Because it has been sold as an ornamental plant for many years it may turn up anywhere.  

We are also hoping to get input from those who are familiar with the plant.  Information regarding its invasiveness, ease of detection and control measures.  Any other thoughts you may have regarding its biology or potential impacts would be much appreciated.
