ID confirmed as D. hirtella by Helen Kennedy at the herbarium. She states "Regarding the Dichelachne specimens, I found them to be a better match for Dichelachne hirtella, the lemma are too long for D.sierberiana. The relative lengths of the glumes and lemma are also a better match and the awn columns were not twisted."
