- 1926, “Sáðsljettur”, in Ársrit Rætunarfélags Norðurlands[1], volume 23, page 61:
- Fræið spíraði illa og frægresið hvarf úr sögunni á fáum árum, en í þess stað náði margskonar illgresi yfirhöndinni, svo sem: súrur, mjaðurt, sóleyjar, fíflar o. fl. og grastegundir, sem í Danmörku þykja ljelegar fóðurjurtir, eins og snarrótarpuntur og rauðvingull.
- The seed sprouted badly and the seed grass disappeared from history in a few years, but in its place many different kinds of weeds gained the upper hand: sorrels, meadowsweet, buttercups, dandelions and others; and grass species, which in Denmark are considered poor fodder plants, like tufted hairgrass and red fescue.
- 1995 January 13, “Ýmsar grastegundir”, in Dagblaðið Vísir[2], volume 85/21, number 11, page 37:
- Á Íslandi er túnvingull algengasta grastegundin, ef með er talinn rauðvingull, sem stundum telst til sömu tegundar.
- In Iceland, Arctic fescue is the most common grass species, if red fescue is also counted, which is sometimes considered to be the same species.
