triandra (kangaroo grass) is one of Tasmania's
most common and recognisable native grasses. It is a
dominant species in native grassland and grassy woodland,
though its abundance appears to have declined through
grazing by sheep.
It is a moderate sized grass with flat leaves a few mm
wide, at the base of quite tall (up to 1m), erect
flowering stems. The inflorescences are at the ends of the
branches, tend to be nodding. Each inflorescence has a
large, bract subtending it.
