Red Grass

Spikelet..

Summary[edit] Description: Flowerheads are spatheate panicles, containing clusters of 7 spikelets enclosed by a spathe. Clusters consist of a central fertile spikelet with a long thick (0.4-0.5 mm wide) black awn, surrounded by 6 male or barren, awnless spikelets; 4 are unstalked (6-12 mm long) and 2 stalked. The upper half of the glumes of the unstalked spikelets vary from hairless (mostly northern and western NSW) to densely covered with glandular hairs (most common in south east NSW). These very hairy samples were photographed at Mt Annan in Sydney. Date: 12 July 2011, 12:10. Source: Themeda triandra spikelets16. 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). 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: 11 December 2007, 05:33.

Summary[edit] Description: Kangaroo Grass growing on the western side of Princess Highway, about 150m north of Mystery Bay turnoff, south of Narooma, NSW, 2546. More than 1000 plants on a moderate eastern facing graded roadside bank. Soil was a shallow, rocky, chocolate clay-loam subsoil. The site was dominated by Kangaroo Grass, but with some Austrostipa sp and Rytidosperma sp. Kangaroo Grass plants were erect, 95cm tall and pulled up very easily. Tubercle-based hairs on each glume were few in number. Date: 17 December 2010, 08:31. Source: Themeda triandra with tubercle-hairs16. 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, 11:47.

Summary[edit] Description: Kangaroo Grass growing on the edge of the Old Hume Highway, 50m south of Balaclava St intersection, Willow Vale (which is 3km north east from the centre of Mittagong, NSW, 2575). Substrate was a graded gravelly artificial bank. Site was at the edge of a disturbed stringy bark forest, with Dactylis glomerata, Rytidosperma and Themeda triandra (greater than 100 plants). Kangaroo Grass was erect, 95 cm tall and pulled up easily. Tubercle-based hairs on each glume were abundant. Date: 18 December 2010, 15:42. Source: Themeda triandra with tubercle-hairs31.
