Anthoxanthum (Poaceae) 4b:249
Sweet vernal grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum) is a common and widespread weed species in Tasmania, mostly in disturbed areas, but also sometimes in native vegetation. It is quite a moderate-sized tufted grass. The inflorescence is a quite compact, spike-like panicle. The spikelets have one fertile flower, plus two lemmas without associated paleas, ovaries or stamens.
