Tribolium uniolae is a grass in the subfamily Danthonioideae of the Poaceae, native to Cape Province, South Africa.[1] It was first described in by Carl Linnaeus, the younger, as Cynosurus uniolae,[1][2] but in 1985 was transferred to the genus, Tribolium, by Stephen Andrew Renvoize.[3]
In Australia, it is an introduced weed in both Victoria and Western Australia,[1][4] where it generally grows on disturbed ground and flowers from October to December.[4]
