| Tasmania has
four introduced species of Echinochloa. These are all largish
grasses with broad leaves (up to 25mm wide). The leaves in the
Tasmanian species are unusual among grasses in that they lack
ligules. The inflorescence is made up of a loose series of racemes
of densely clustered spikelets. The spikelets are two-flowered, with
the lower flower lacking stamens and ovaries, the upper
hermaphrodite. |
