Summary[edit] Description: Native, warm season, perennial, straggling, wiry, rhizomatous grass; usually to 80 cm tall, but can grow to 2 m tall when straggling through undergrowth. Leaf blades are 2–15 mm wide, very variable in size, glabrous or sparingly hairy. Ligule are less than 1 mm long. Flowerheads are a primary axis with racemes; branches are erect, more or less appressed and 0.2–1.5 cm long. Spikelets are solitary, loosely arranged, 2.5–3.8 mm long and 2-flowered; lower glume is 0.5–1 mm long; upper as long as the spikelet; lower lemma is similar to upper glume and sterile, without a palea; upper lemma is 2–2.4 mm long, noticeably shorter than the spikelet and pubescent with fine white hairs. Flowering is throughout most of year. Grows in scrub, woodland or forest in slightly damper areas on sandy or sandstone-derived soils. Date: 11 January 2016, 08:47.
