Themeda quadrivalvis is a species of grass known by the common names grader grass,[1] habana grass,[citation needed] and kangaroo grass,[2] not to be confused with Themeda triandra, which is also known as kangaroo grass. It is native to India,[3][4] Nepal,[4] and Malaysia.[5] It can also be found in many other places as an introduced species and often a noxious weed. It occurs in the United States, New Caledonia, Fiji, Mauritius,[4] Thailand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, China, the Middle East and tropical America.[3] It is a troublesome exotic weed in Australia, especially in northern regions.[4][6] It is also an agricultural weed in crops such as sugar cane and lucerne.[4][7]
