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, 13:39.

Summary[edit] Description: Flowerheads are spatheate panicles (10-25 cm long), containing clusters of 7 spikelets enclosed by a spathe. Date: 11 April 2006, 11:27. Source: Themeda triandra head5. 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: 26 January 2005, 11:29.

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).

Summary[edit] Description: Kangaroo Grass growing on eastern roadside of Princess Highway at Termeil, NSW, 2539; 150m north of the Bawley Point Rd turnoff. Site was a narrow graded roadside. Substrate was gravel and the grade was flat. Grasses were erect, to 90 cm tall and pulled up easily. Tubercle-based hairs on each glume were abundant. Date: 18 December 2010, 11:03.
