Summary[edit]

Description

Native, warm-season, perennial, erect, leafy, tussocky grass 30-130 cm tall; arising from short rhizomes (under the trees in this photograph). Uncommon at higher altitudes, it is mostly found on the Slopes and Plains. Found on a range of soil types, but is most productive on heavier soils on lower slope sites. In drier western areas, it is mainly confined in/around streams and swamps. Moderate to high grazing value. Crude protein is 11-15.5%. Palatable and useful forage, even when hayed off due to frost or dry spells. Favoured by livestock, especially cattle. Seed is reportedly spread in cattle dung. Potentially useful for the stabilization of waterways following earthworks or erosion Resting during summer flowering will allow stands to thicken up. If a soil seed bank is present, rest in spring to early

summer following good rains to encourage seedling establishment. Seed can be sown by broadcasting, followed by harrows in early spring.
