Chloris truncata - Windmill Grass Chloris is from the Greek word chloros meaning bright green and refers to the leaf colour. Truncata refers to the truncate or flat topped lemma in the flower. This low-growing, C4 grass is great as a primary colonizer of bare, eroded soils or disturbed areas. This species can be relied upon to produce short, green foliage during summer. #whynotnative #native #australiangrass #indigenousgrasses #nativegrasses #environment #erosioncontrol #biodiversity https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnhh-xrn6LU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ts9fxwrlz4dn

Bouncing back after the rain is the beautiful and greatly under-appreciated local indigenous Oplismenus or #Basketgrass. Forming a loose open #groundcover structure with fine runners that root at the nodes the leaves and furry pink flowers stems often fan outwards and climb half a meter provide ground habitat. #oplismenusaemulus #oplismenus_imbecillis (thinner leaf) #nativegrassesofparramatta #lawnreplacement #livingmulch #indigenousgrasses #parramatta #smallbirdhabitat #nofilter #seasonalgrass https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-NhSOns4P/?igshid=8jvg4ybvuk6m
