Hello all.

Just to advise that this plant is presently being sold at a major retail hardware chain in Victoria. It looks so similar to Serrated Tussock (Nasella trichotoma) that experienced weed sprayers were confused by it. It has the look, a serrated feel, cylindrical cross section, similar roots, and appears to have a membranous ligule. It is being referred to the authorities here to see if any action needs to be taken. Some of our local plant experts would like to see much stricter controls on plants so closely related to and so hard to tell apart from serious weeds of national significance.

It is described on the net as being similar to Stipa tenuissima but more robust.  Anyone had any dealings with it in Victoria or even Australia?

Regards Roger Cook
