Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description |
Native annual or short-lived perennial, tufted, erect or weeping grass to 40 cm tall. Leaves are about 1 mm wide and flat or rolled, with 2mm long hairs adjacent to the ligule. Flowerheads are straight or curved spikes to 8 cm long. Spikelets are 4-12 mm long and 3-12-flowered. Lemmas are 2 mm long, with a 1-2 mm long awn arising between 2 short lobes; the callus is hairy. Flowers in response to rain. Found in a range of habitats, usually on rocky slopes and outcrops with skeletal soils. These examples are from the common in Dungog NSW. This species is common in the Dungog shire, but hasn't been recorded before. Native biodiversity. Classed as a resurrection plant as it can very quickly produce green leaf from ‘dead’ butts after rain and then flower. Can be locally abundant, but usually of little use for grazing as production is low and it grows in habitats unsuitable for grazing. Should generally be protected from grazing as it usually grows in habitats very susceptible to degradation by livestock. |
