The summer‐donnancy period among collections of Phalaris tuberosa L. from the eastern Mediterranean region when grown at Davis, California, ranged from 30 to 127 days. Plants from the more arid sites of origin tended to exhibit the longer dormancy. There were exceptions, however, and these, together with the diversity of behaviour in this material, suggest that genotypes with a potential for increased summer growth may be selected for use on rangelands.
