I don't know if this is a species to be concerned about. I don't think I have ever seen it grow any further than a metre from a road or footpath. Seems to love asphalt, but is possibly allergic to soil.

Chloris virgata

Thanks Matt
I also submitted a sample to the ANBG. The reply from Helen Kennedy also suggested Dichanthium sericeum subsp, sericeum

Emma and I examined specimens collected from this site and we are of the opinion that these plants are Dichanthium sericeum. The leaf sheath is covered in tubercle-based not restricted to the node; racemes between 2-5 per inflorescence though generally 3-4; pedicellate spikelets sterile; absence of distinctive purplish colouration as present in D.setosum. A shame is not the rare one but I must say that this is a super nice patch of a grass that isn't super common regionally.

A recent revision restricts decresiensis to SA leaving talbingoensis as the available name for the one here

Hemiergis talbingoensis
