Alopecurus pratensis is a perennial grasslike herb that is not native to California.
There is a high risk of this plant becoming invasive in California according to Cal-IPC.
Wetlands: Arid West: Occurs usually in wetlands, occasionally in non wetlands Mountains, Valleys and Coast: Equally likely to occur in wetlands and non wetlands
[Cal-IPC] Invasive: Alopecurus pratensis (meadow foxtail) is a perennial grass (family Poaceae) that can grow to be more than 3 feet high and is found in the coastal ranges, desert ranges and northern and southern ranges of California. It is native to Eurasia. It grows in grasslands, wetlands and meadows. It spreads via seeds and rhizomes through agricultural activities.

[Wikipedia] Europe, Asia native, Habitat: Alopecurus pratensis, known as the meadow foxtail[1] or the field meadow foxtail, is a perennial grass belonging to the grass family (Poaceae). It is native to Europe and Asia.
This common plant is found on grasslands, especially on neutral soils. It is found on moist, fertile soils, but avoids waterlogged, light or dry soils. The species forms dense swards leading to low botanical diversity.
This species is widely cultivated for pasture and hay, and has become naturalised in many areas outside its native range, including Australia and North America. (contributed by Mary Ann Machi)
