| Blady Grass (Imperata
cylindrica) is a common native grass of coastal dunes in the
north of Tasmania. It is a rhizomatous grass with quite large,
erect flowering stalks and relatively large flattish leaves (up to
30cm long and 5-10mm wide). The inflorescence is a dense,
cylindrical, silky hairy panicle. The spikelets are awnless, have
one fertile flower and one sterile one, occur in pairs, with one
sessile spikelet and one on a long stalk covered in silky hairs. |
