Deyeuxia (Poaceae) 4b:264
Tasmania has fifteen native species of Deyeuxia. These tufted perennial species from a range of habitats (often in open forest, but also extending into the alpine zone). The inflorescence is a panicle, and the spikelets are distinctly flattened and have only one floret. The floret is often bearded at the base and often has an awn placed on the back of the lemma (not the apex).
