Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Native warm-season perennial C4 grass with tufts joined by stolons to 1 m long; stems are erect, often have a knee-bend towards their base and grow to 60 cm tall. Leaves are alternate along the stems, distant and 3-10 cm long. Flowerheads are narrow dense spike-like contracted panicles to 13 cm long; spikelets and branches are pressed against the main stem. Spikelets are 1.5-2 mm long, 1-flowered and unawned. Flowers in response to rain from spring to autumn. Found on heavier soils in wet and seasonally flooded areas such as depressions, alluvial flats, drainage lines and streambanks; it is most common on the Plains, and western margin of the Slopes. Native biodiversity. An indicator of good native pasture condition. Slightly salt tolerant. Of limited feed value even though it is grazed by sheep and cattle when green and has moderate palatability and quality. However, it is only abundant after good warm season rainfall when feed is in abundance. Decreases under moderate to high grazing pressure. |
