Sporobolus elongatus R.Br.

Perennials, erect, caespitose. Flowering culms to 100 cm high. Leaves: basal leaf sheath margins glabrous; ligule a ciliate membrane, to 0.5 mm long; blade folded or convolute, linear, 4.35 cm long, to 3 mm wide, with smooth margins. Inflorescences of spicate main branches, irregular, contracted and spiciform, 13.30 cm long; primary branches solitary, equalling or longer than adjacent internodes, erect, spreading or appressed at apex of inflorescence, spikelet-bearing throughout, with spikelets in clusters. Spikelets shortly pedicellate, 1.5.2.3 mm long; pedicel to 1 mm long. Glumes: lower glume oblong or lanceolate, 0.3.1 mm long, obtuse (often torn), 0.1-nerved (faintly); upper glume lanceolate, at least half spikelet length, 0.7.1.4 mm long. Lemma lanceolate, 1.5.2.2 mm long, acute, faintly 3-nerved. Palea slightly shorter than lemma, entire. Anthers usually 2, to 0.6 mm long. Grain obovate, quadrangular (with sharp edges), 0.5.1 mm long (c. half spikelet length), to 0.6 mm wide, to 0.3 mm thick, reticulate, brown. Embryo ±half as long as grain.

A fairly widespread taxon in woodland and native grassland; it canalso become weedy. 

Can be grown by divisions or seedlings.
