Phalaris (Poaceae) 4b:251
Tasmania has five introduced species of Phalaris. These are moderately common annual and perennial weeds of a range of habitats. The distinctive features of these species include the inflorescence which is a dense, stiff panicle, and the spikelets flattened from top to bottom, and with only one fertile floret (the uppermost) and two sterile florets reduced to lemmas or scales.
