Summary[
edit] Description: Native warm-season perennial, erect, tufted or rhizomatous grass to 80 cm tall. Stems are wiry, sometimes branched and have very little leaf. Flowerheads are open panicles (6-16 cm long) usually with widely diverging branches and spikelets. Spikelets are 1-flowered with the (often purplish) glumes much shorter than the lemma. Lemma has a 3-branched awn. Flowering is from spring to autumn. Found in dry eucalypt forest on sandy or rocky soils. No grazing value. Leaves around the base of the plant are from other species, mostly Digitaria didactyla. Date: 11 January 2016, 08:43. Source:
