User's notes

Look at edge of leaf. The roughness was also felt on the midrib at the back of the leaf but only distally ie towards the tip. Partial description from VicFlora: Plant solitary or rhizomatous and forming loose tufts, to c. 1.5 m high. Leaves spreading, not or hardly sheathing at base, 20–80 cm long, 7–25 mm wide, flat to broadly V-shaped or Y-shaped in section, concolorous or nearly so, smooth throughout or distantly scabrous along margins and abaxial midrib, particularly toward apex.
