User's notes

Growing in sub-alpine herbfield. Glumes 2-3 mm long, anther approx 1 mm long, lemma unawned, spikelets purplish. Inflorescence (of sampled individual) approx 11cm long, open with branching obvious, purple. The other similar option is A. muellerana but I have not chosen that as the panicle is not contracted.
