Grass pictured is ~13cm, most others were 2-8cm height possibly due to grazing

The seed has both long awns and lobes, and hairs in distinct rows so that would rule out R. carphoides which has short awns and lobes, and has hairs covering the back of the seed. I tentatively key this as R. erianthium as the inflorescence is is compact and <7cm long.
