It looks like a grass to me, no idea which.

I thought I had reported this as a grass but I later added more photos. Did that change it to plant?

Our second CNM record of this non-local native grass - both by busy roads. Mike the Herbarium would appreciate a specimen collection if you are able.

It has been at the intersection of Hindmarsh Drive and Yamba Drive for years, because I have seen it from the bus but haven't been able to stop and look. I saw it today at the intersection of Yamba Drive and Launceston Street (again from the bus). It seems to like decomposed granite. I have a specimen but not pressed.
