Poa labillardierei

Poa labillardierei, also known as common tussock-grass,[2] is a species of tussock grass that is endemic to Australia.[3] It is found in southern and eastern Australia, including Tasmania.[4] There are differing variations, Poa labillardierei var. acris Vickery and Poa labillardierei var. labillardierei.[5]

The species was formally described in 1854 by German botanist and physician Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel in Synopsis Plantarum Glumacearum.[6] The name is derived from Poa - Greek word which means "fodder" and labillardierei - after the French botanist and explorer, J.J.H. de Labillardière.[4]
