Significant sighting

MattM noted:

22 Feb 2024

While generally widespread across south east Australia, Eragrostis elongata is quite rare in the ACT. This is a new location for the species within the ACT, and is one of several records within Bluetts Block which appears to be a local hotspot for the species.

The glaucous appearance with tightly packed upwards-pointing spikelets make this one Eragrostis elongata.
