About Rytidosperma setaceum (R.Br.) Connor & Edgar
Rytidosperma setaceum, commonly called small-flowered wallaby-grass, mulga wallaby-grass, or bristly wallaby-grass, is a grass species native to Australia. Robert Brown originally described this species under the name Danthonia setacea. It was first moved to the genus Austrodanthonia by Hans Peter Linder in 1993, and finally transferred to the genus Rytidosperma in 2011. The specific epithet setacea, inherited from its earlier name, means bristle or stiff hair. This grass bears short bristles, and is the smallest and most delicate-looking of all wallaby grasses. It grows as a perennial clump, with flowering stems that reach 15 to 60 cm in height. Its flowering period runs from September to December.
