Myosurus
australis (southern mousetail) is a short-lived annual
herb occuring in marginal wetland habitat. The narrow-linear
leaves are up to 10 cm long and arranged in a rosette.
Several flower stems develop from the base of the plant
bearing a single small flower. When fruiting the stems
elongate to ~ 10 cm and bear > 100 small fruitlets on a
slender spike. This species is rare in Tasmania with records
from only two sites (Southern Midlands and Central Plateau
at 400 and 925 m above sea level respectively). It is
possible this species has been introduced.
