User's notes

A fantastic group thriving at edges of some plantings for Evatt wetlands. Notes on other CNM sightings suggest this grass is uncommon in Canberra and will have been planted for native biodiversity. Very impressive display. I uploaded 2 photos of inflorescence detail, the first was for a mature head shedding seed, the second was for a younger flower spike.
