| Gahnia
is a common and conspicuous genus in Tasmania. There are seven
native species. Six of these species are large, erect graminoids
with razor-edged leaves (hence the common name of cutting grass).
These species are very common in wet forest (especially after fire),
coastal areas and sometimes dry woodlands. The other
species (G. rodwayi) is a small grass-like herb of dry
forests of the south-east. |
