Astrebla squarrosa
Astrebla squarrosa, commonly known as bull Mitchell grass, is a long lived herb of the family Poaceae. It is often seen growing to tall. Its common name is one bestowed in honour of Thomas [Mitchell (explorer)|Thomas Mitchell]. The plant can be found on floodplains and heavy dark clay soils in arid to semi-arid Australia, being regarded as the most flood tolerant of the Astrebla grasses. Flowering occurs in response to rain. The coarse stems and difficult digestibility make it a less desirable Mitchell grass for livestock.
