  1. Grass? ID

    If anyone can help to ID this plant or at least point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. It was collected from open seral vegetation on pumice country just near Okere Falls - Rotorua. I'm pretty sure it is a grass but I've never come across it before.
    Cheers,

    The remains of the inflorescence

    It looks very like a Panicoid Grass - possibly Dichanthelium (may be Panicum) - but without inflorescences I cannot go any further

    Consider Dichanthelium lanuginosum or Dichanthelium sphaerocarpon

    Thanks for that Peter - I'll have a look at those.
