Summary
[edit]
| Description | Native warm-season perennial erect hairless C4 grass; to 100 cm tall and with well-developed stolons. Stems are branched and flattened near their base. Flowerheads are digitate with 3-5 branches; each 4-10 cm long, arranged in one plane and often drooping. Spikelets are 2-flowered (sometimes 3) and pale green to purplish-black, with a blunt apex; the upper awn is shorter than the spikelet. Flowers from late spring to autumn. Mostly found in woodlands, native pastures and disturbed areas (e.g. roadsides); usually on better (often heavier) soils that are not subject to waterlogging. Native biodiversity. Has high 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 rests from grazing aid its persistence and spread. |
