Summary[edit] Description: Kangaroo Grass growing on the edge of 1239 Nowra Rd, about 300m south of the Sheep Wash Rd intersection (11.2km NNW of Kangaroo Valley, NSW, 2577). Near pure stand of >1000 plants of Themeda triandra were on a shallow sandy clay loam. Grasses were erect, 75 cm tall and pulled up easily. Tubercle-based hairs on each glume were moderate in number.

Summary[edit] Description: Flowerheads are spatheate panicles (10-25 cm long), containing clusters of 7 spikelets enclosed by a spathe. Date: 12 April 2006, 11:25. Source: Themeda triandra head9. Author: Harry Rose from South West Rocks, Australia.
Summary[edit] Description: Kangaroo Grass growing on the western roadside of Princes Highway, directly opposite the Durras Rd turnoff at Benandarah (8km north east of Batemans Bay), NSW, 2536. Soil was an exposed bedrock of yellow decomposing rock. Site was a nearly pure stand of Themeda triandra with more than 100 plants. Grasses were erect, 115 cm tall and pulled up easily. Tubercle-based hairs on each glume were relatively few in number. Date: 18 December 2010, 10:20. Source: Themeda triandra with tubercle-hairs24. Author: Harry Rose from South West Rocks, Australia.
Summary[edit] Description: Native, warm-season, perennial, tufted grass to 120 cm tall. Flowerheads are spatheate panicles. Flowers from spring to autumn. Most commonly found in ungrazed to lightly grazed areas that have not been ploughed, but have occasionally been burnt (e.g. roadsides, railways, native pastures, woodlands and forests). This shot was taken on a seaside headland at South West Rocks and shows the typical very low growing habit of plants in this situation. Native biodiversity. An important habitat for many native animals. Drought tolerant. Frost sensitive, but one of the earliest warm-season native perennials to break dormancy in spring. Palatability and feed quality are low when mature, although young growth is palatable to stock. Shows little response to fertiliser. Decreases under moderate to heavy grazing pressure. Use cattle, rotational grazing, low stocking rates, avoid frequent close grazing and/or rest in autumn for best persistence and production. Date: 14 November 2014, 07:44.

Summary[edit] Description: Kangaroo Grass growing on the northwest side of the corner of Killarney and Bega St at the southern end of Tathra, NSW, 2550. Site was a bare graded roadside with only a patch of grass next to the gutter. Soil was a shallow white gravelly sand (1-2 cm deep) over a heavy clay. Grade flat. Site consisted of 10-20 Themeda triandra plants with several Lomandra longifolia. The grasses were erect, 55 cm tall and pulled up easily. Tubercle-based hairs on each glume were relatively few in number. Date: 17 December 2010, 13:46. Source: Themeda triandra with tubercle-hairs19. Author: Harry Rose from South West Rocks, Australia.

Summary[edit] Description: When travelling down the south coast of NSW, I noticed Kangaroo Grass which had tubercle-based hairs in the flowerhead. This doesn't occur in any samples I've looked at on the north coast of NSW. This patch was growing on a graded roadside on George Bass Drive, 200m south of final roundabout exiting the southern end of Malua Bay. The site had a northwest facing gentle slope and was dominated by this tubercle-haired form of the grass, with little else present up to the edge of the forest (on the other side of the fence). Soil was a gravelly pale clay (probably subsoil). The grass was erect, 70cm tall and pulled up easily. Tubercle-based hairs were abundant. Date: 16 December 2010, 11:46.

Summary[edit] Description: English: Kangaroo Grass growing on the edge of Thunderbolts Way, 50m south of Lookout Rd, which is 1km north of the Uralla (NSW, 2358) town centre. Soil is a disturbed granite-based shallow yellow sandy clay-loam over heavy clay on a gentle SW grade. Site is a box-gum woodland. The site is dominated by a stand of Themeda triandra extending for 100 m along the road and 3 m wide. Eragrostis africanus, Sorghum leiocladum and Anthoxanthum odoratum are minor components. Kangaroo Grass was erect, 100-120 cm tall and pulled up easily. Tubercle-based hairs on each glume were common. Date: 22 December 2010, 16:36. Source: Themeda triandra with tubercle-hairs35.
