Common names: reed canary grass, gardener's-garters, ribbon grass
Unusually, the Wikipedia article also gives common names in several other languages. The GBIF gives a pile of variants and alternatives in French, plus some others. Between them, there are way more than I can fit in this post so I'll just link them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaris_arundinacea, https://www.gbif.org/species/5289756
Apparently, there is disagreement on whether it's native to both North America and Eurasia. Another intriguing story!
