Some authorities do not consider it to be a sports of 'Mariesii' and refer to it as 'Maculata' or simply 'Variegata'.

Its native range is the coastal. North Atlantic but is has been widely introduced in many areas for dune stabilisation. However, its invasive tendencies have given it a bad reputation for displacing native grasses. Order: Poales, Family: Poaceae Order: Poales
