Summary
| Description |
Found growing in a drain amongst other grasses on the Liverpool Plains NSW. When extracted from the other plants it collapsed because it was so weakly stemmed. Also didn't help it was blowing a gale when taking the photos. Native warm-season perennial grass with weak and delicate stems to 1 m tall. Leaves have a erose membranous ligule 1–3 mm long; the blade is flat, to 4 mm wide and scabrous. Flowerheads are a primary axis of racemes 30–60 cm long and to 30 cm wide; axils are glabrous; racemes are rigid, divaricate and 4–25 cm long. Spikelets are 3–5 mm long, distant from one another and 3–6-flowered. Lemmas are 1–3 mm long, with upper lemmas successively smaller; their apex is 2-toothed with a mucro to 1 mm long. Flowers in response to warm season flooding. Found in SE Qld and inland northern N.S.W, chiefly on heavy-textured soils subject to periodic flooding. |
