Summary[edit]
| Description | Native, warm-season, short-lived perennial, tufted sedge; stems usually few and 10-40 cm tall arising from very short rhizomes. Leaves are much shorter than the stems and very variable in width (1.5-5 mm). Ligules form a dense fringe of hairs. Flowerheads have few to many red-brown spikelets (to 5 mm long), which are solitary or clustered on branches that are usually less than 5 cm long. Flowering is in summer and autumn. Found in moister habitats; more abundant following wet springs and summers. Native biodiversity. Palatable, but of minor value to livestock as it is usually a small component of most pastures and produces little biomass. Readily grazed by wallabies and wombats. Decreases under heavy continuous stocking. Seeds were a food source for aborigines and stems were made into bags. |
