Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Native, warm-season, perennial, erect, hairless grass to 1 m tall and with well developed stolons. Stems are branched and flattened near their base. Flowerheads are digitate, with 3-5 straight to limp branches arranged in one plane. Spikelets are 2-flowered (sometimes 3), pale green to purplish-black and blunt at their apex. Upper awn is shorter than the spikelet. Flowers from late spring to autumn. Found in woodlands, native pastures and roadsides; usually on better (often heavier) soils. Native biodiversity. Excellent drought tolerance, but low to moderate frost tolerance. Has moderate forage value and is readily grazed by cattle during summer. Acts as a useful soil stabiliser due to its stoloniferous habit. Can withstand regular defoliation, but rotational grazing aids persistence and spread. |
