Red Grass (Bothriochloa macra)
© Harry Rose
Native, warm-season, perennial, tufted, prostrate to erect grass to 1 m tall. Stem nodes are (virtually) hairless. Mostly found on hillslopes and drier, low fertility soils that are not too acid. More common in the south of coastal NSW. Increases in abundance with over-grazing as it readily colonises bare and disturbed areas.
