Appin, New South WalesUploaded as Notodanthonia longifolia, but following a further major cladistic study of the Danthonioid grasses in 2010, this and nearly all the other former "Danthonia" spp. in Australia and New Zealand are now lumped into Rytidosperma.www.anbg.gov.au/cgi-bin/apni?taxon_id=52653
Description: Native, yearlong-green, perennial, erect, few-stemmed grass to 110 cm tall. Flowerheads are slender, contracted to somewhat open panicles (5-20 cm long). Flowers from spring to autumn. Found on low fertility, shallow, sandy or rocky soils in dry eucalypt forests and in disturbed areas, especially along roadsides. Native biodiversity. Of little importance to livestock as it is rare in pastures. An unproductive and low quality feed, it shows little response to fertiliser. To aid persistence, only lightly graze and spell after good rainfall in spring to allow seeding. Date: 9 April 2013, 10:40. Source: Rytidosperma tenuiusOrange plant1.
