Two taxa of the Setaria verticillata complex can be readily distinguished in Israel: the diploid pantropical S. adhaerens (usually referred to as S. verticillata) is common as a weed, the polyploid temperate actual S. verticillata s.str. is a rare adventitious taxon, reported from Israel for the first time.
