Avellinia (Poaceae) not in The Student's Flora
   
Tasmania has one uncommon introduced species of Avellinia, A. festucoides. This is a small, tufted annual that grows on sandy soils. The distinctive features of this genus include the open panicles of multiple-flowered spikelets with one glume almost as large as the florets and the other reduced to a bristle. The spikelets are arranged in a panicle.
