Foxtail Grass

Whilst having a bush walk a few days ago, I spotted this very attractive clumping grass.
Unfortunately, it is listed as an exotic weed and it should be removed from the reserve
(there is about 30 clumps of it). Mangroves to Mountains states that it mainly grows on swampy and poorly drained soils but this certainly doesn't apply to this site.

Location : Neville Laurie Reserve -  eastern side on ridge overlooking disused quarry site

Common name: Foxtail Grass

Scientific name:  Pennisetum alopecuroides.
