Two greenish flowerhead photos may be Dichelachne, but probably Nassella neesiana. However, the photos with purple glumes are possibly Nassella neesiana, as glumes are purple, awns are robust (way too thick for Dichelachne) and one photo seems to show a hairy node (not found in Dichelachne). However, couldn't discount it being an Austrostipa.

Should the id be changed to Nassella neesiana? From your comments you seem to be leaning that way.

Yeah thanks that looks like a good correction, not used to seeing Nassella form like that
