Rytidosperma racemosum or wallaby grass, is a species of grass found in New Zealand and southern and eastern Australia . A widespread plant, it is found in many parts of Australia, apart from the most arid sites. The specific epithet racemosa is derived from the Latin for bearing racemes.[1] The grass may grow up to 0.6 m (2 ft 0 in) tall.

Two varieties are recognized:[2]

  • Rytidosperma racemosum var. racemosum
  • Rytidosperma racemosum var. obtusatum
