This South African species has been widely planted across southern states, especially roadsides, but it is often overlooked (K); it needs documentation in Ind. E. curvula has been listed for sale usually under the name "weeping" or "African" lovegrass (Gucker 2009. It is a cespitose polyploid (2n = 40, 50) that has persised at many sites after been extensively sown for soil stabilization on roadsides and other disturbed sites. In Ky. it has become much more frequent than colls. indicate, but most or all colls. may be from plantings rather than truly naturalized situations. It is locally abundant along several major highways built after 1970, especially in south-central regions of the state. It could be considered invasive (Ngoy & Shebitz 2019, Roberts et al. 2021).
