Summary edit
| Description | Native, warm season, perennial, erect, sedge to 1 m tall and with slender rhizomes. Stems are yellow-green, unbranched, 1-3 mm diameter, soft and have internal horizontal membranes only. Leaves are reduced to basal sheaths. Flowerheads are solitary cylindrical spikes at the stem tips; they are not much wider than the stem itself. Glumes are leathery, many-nerved and lack a dark band around their margins. Flowering is from spring to autumn. Common and widespread in coastal and subcoastal non-saline wetland areas. Generally found in slightly deeper water than Water Couch (Paspalum distichum). A palatable feed, capable of maintaining dry stock or providing moderate production. Provides valuable feed and nesting sites for waterbirds. Don’t graze below the waterline in autumn to aid in its persistence. |
