Astrebla elymoides
Also called Slender Mitchell Grass, Weeping Mitchell Grass, Wire Mitchell Grass
Astrebla elymoides, commonly known as hoop Mitchell grass, is a herb of the family Poaceae that grows to 1 metre (3+1⁄2 ft) tall. It was named in honour of Thomas Mitchell. It is found on floodplains and heavy self-mulching clay soils in arid to semi-arid Australia, and flowers in response to rain or flooding. It is regarded as the best of the Astrebla grasses for grazing, particularly for cattle.
