romantic grass of the week: another this week to catch up to our 20th Anniversary!! wiry panic grass - entolasia stricta, although it is called a panic grass it is not related to panicum maximum - check out their different flowers.. in africa, the entolasia grows in woodlands but in australia they grow in scrub, shallow sandy, stony soil. like the first one was found in sandy beerwah state forest, its a perennial native, slender wiry, not very rigid stem up to 80cm. flower is 2-9 racemes that are 1cm to 7cm long, leaves have no mid vein. usually easily identifiable with their bent leaves almost 90 degrees
