Hi @MichaelMulvaney, are you just waiting at the computer for sightings to come in? You beat me and CarbonAI.

Thanks Matt
The reason I suggested E. parviflora was that it was growing close to much shorter plants that were typical African Love Grass. They looked very different. Also, the taller grasses did not have the hairs in the the lower axils of the inflorescence that were present in the shorter form. However, this character appears to be variably expressed in African Love Grass, and the fact that the tall form is so abundant in the Crace locality, makes me think it may well be the tall form of E. curvula.

This region is too far inland for X. australis, a species that typically occurs along the milder coastal fringes.
