Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Native warm-season perennial dense, tussocky C4 grass; stems grow to 90 cm tall, have nodes that are often shortly hairy and arise from short rhizomes. Leaves are blue green with a whitish midvein, turning purplish-red at maturity Flowerheads are digitate to subdigitate, consisting of 2-3 erect, silky, reddish-brown branches (racemes). Spikelets are paired and both alike, 4-5 mm long, 2-flowered and 1-awned. Flowers most of the year. Found in moist open areas of grasslands and woodlands, such as flats, along creeks and on cracking clays; more common in the northern half of the region. Native biodiversity. Very drought tolerant, but frost sensitive. Provides good growth after summer rains and responds to improved fertility. Palatable and of moderate feed quality when young, unpalatable at maturity. Decreases under moderate to high set stocking and is thought to have been grazed out in many areas; persists better under low or intermittent grazing. Rest stands during wet summers to aid establishment as seedlings have poor survival unless conditions remain moist for an extended period. |
