Tasmania has
four introduced species of Panic Grass (Panicum spp.). The
Tasmanian species are all quite coarse grasses found in warmer
areas. The leaves are flat, broad (up to 15mm wide), with the ligule
either completely absent or in the form of a membrane, usually
ending in hairs. The
inflorescence is a very loose panicle of small, awnless spikelets.
The spikes have one fertile floret subtended by a flower that may be
male, may be sterile and has a small, or no, palea. |
