| Bothriochloa
macra (redleg grass) is an uncommon weed of warm, dry
parts of Tasmania. It is an erect, tufted perennial
with quite large erect flowering stalks and relatively large
flattish leaves (up to 10cm long and 3mm wide). The
inflorescence is made of a few narrow elongate panicles
clustered together at the end of the flowering stalk. The
spikelets have two flowers with reduced lemmas and
paleas. The upper flower is a fertile flower with a
long twisted and bent awn and the lower is a sterile flower
without an awn. |
