Austrostipa Crinita
''Austrostipa crinita'' is a species of grass that grows in coastal parts of midwest Western Australia. Description It is a tufted perennial bunchgrass from 40 centimetres to 70 centimetres in height. Flowers are yellow or brown. It reproduces asexually by short rhizomes. Taxonomy It was first collected from Shark Bay in Western Australia by Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupré, botanist to the expedition of Louis de Freycinet. It was published by Gaudichaud-Beaupré in 1829 under the name ''Stipa crinita''. That name remained current until 1996, when the Australian species of ''Stipa'' were recognised as meriting their own genus. Thus '' Austrostipa'' was erected, and this and other species were transferred into it. Distribution and habitat It occurs on sand and limestone in coastal areas of midwest Western Australia, including offshore islands such as those of the Houtman Abrolhos The Houtman Abrolhos (often called the Abrolhos Islands) is a chain of 122 islands and associated c ...
