Echinopogon Cheelii
''Echinopogon cheelii'', commonly known as longflower hedgehog grass, is a species of grass endemic to southeastern Australia. Description ''Echinopogon cheelii'' is a loosely tufted perennial grass that grows up to in height. The leaf-blades are linear or lanceolate, long, and wide. The surface is generally hairless but sometimes has very soft hairs. The panicle is ovate or ovate-oblong generally (with smaller panicles forming a dense, triangular shape), long and wide including awns. Spiketlets are long and either erect or slightly spreading below. Glumes are acute to acuminate and firmly membranous. The keel is rigidly ciliate and scabrid. Lemma is typically longer than glumes. It is linear-lanceolate in shape. Distribution and habitat ''Echinopogon cheelii'' occurs across the Australian states of New South Wales and Victoria Victoria most commonly refers to: * Queen Victoria (1819–1901), Queen of the United Kingdom and Empress of India * Victoria (state), a state o ...

Echinopogon Caespitosus
''Echinopogon caespitosus'', the bushy hedgehog grass or tufted hedgehog grass, is a species of grass native to southeastern Australia. It is often found in disturbed areas. The original specimen was collected at Katoomba railway station in 1931, and published in Icones Plantarum in 1934 by Charles Hubbard. The grass may grow to 1.5 metres, and is noticeable due to its dense, bristly head. The specific epithet is derived from Latin Latin ( or ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic languages, Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally spoken by the Latins (Italic tribe), Latins in Latium (now known as Lazio), the lower Tiber area aroun ..., meaning ''tufted''.Les Robinson - Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney, page 270 Two varieties are currently recognised: *''Echinopogon caespitosus'' var.

Pooideae
The Pooideae are the largest subfamily of the grass family (biology), family Poaceae, with about 4,000 species in 15 tribes and roughly 200 genera. They include some major cereals such as wheat, barley, oat, rye and many lawn and pasture grasses. They are often referred to as cool-season grasses, because they are distributed in temperate climates. All of them use the C3 photosynthesis, C3 photosynthetic pathway. The Pooideae are the sister group of the bamboos within the BOP clade, and are themselves subdivided into 15 tribe (taxonomy), tribes. Evolutionary history Pooidae started diversifying in the Late Eocene, and their Adaptive radiation, radiation was especially intense during the Oligocene and Miocene Epoch (geology), epochs. Phylogeny Relationships of tribes in the Pooideae according to a 2017 phylogenetic classification, also showing the bamboos as sister group: References External links Pooideae, Poaceae subfamilies {{Poaceae-stub ...

New Zealand
New Zealand () is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island () and the South Island ()—and List of islands of New Zealand, over 600 smaller islands. It is the List of island countries, sixth-largest island country by area and lies east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and south of the islands of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. The Geography of New Zealand, country's varied topography and sharp mountain peaks, including the Southern Alps (), owe much to tectonic uplift and volcanic eruptions. Capital of New Zealand, New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, and its most populous city is Auckland. The islands of New Zealand were the last large habitable land to be settled by humans. Between about 1280 and 1350, Polynesians began to settle in the islands and subsequently developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman became the first European to sight and record New Zealand. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Grasses Of New Zealand
Poaceae ( ), also called Gramineae ( ), is a large and nearly ubiquitous family (biology), family of monocotyledonous flowering plants commonly known as grasses. It includes the cereal grasses, bamboos, the grasses of natural grassland and species cultivated in lawns and pasture. The latter are commonly referred to collectively as grass. With around 780 genera and around 12,000 species, the Poaceae is the fifth-largest :plant families, plant family, following the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae. The Poaceae are the most economically important plant family, including staple foods from domesticated cereal crops such as maize, wheat, rice, oats, barley, and millet for people and as forage, feed for livestock, meat-producing animals. They provide, through direct human consumption, just over one-half (51%) of all dietary energy; rice provides 20%, wheat supplies 20%, maize (corn) 5.5%, and other grains 6%. Some members of the Poaceae are used as building materials ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
