==Description==
''Cymbopogon refractus'' is a tufted perennial [[bunchgrass]], without [[stolon]]s or [[rhizome]]s. The [[Culm (botany)|culm]]s, or [[Plant stem|stem]]s of the grass are to {{convert|1|m|abbr=on}} in height and branching at the [[Node (botany)|node]]s. The nodes are purplish and hairless.<ref name=Fairley/>
''Capillipedium spicigerum'' is a tufted perennial [[bunchgrass]], without [[stolon]]s or [[rhizome]]s. The [[Culm (botany)|culm]]s, or [[Plant stem|stem]]s of the grass grow to {{convert|1.5|m|abbr=on}} in height and have hairy [[Node (botany)|node]]s.


The [[Leaf|leaves]] of the plant are basal and on the stems.<ref name=Fairley/> The leaf is hairless and when crushed gives off a lemon-ginger scent<ref name=Rose/> like other grasses in the genus [[Cymbopogon]].

The [[inflorescence]] of the plant, or the collections of [[flowers]], are arranged on a {{convert|10-45|cm|abbr=on}} long stem with clusters of short, nearly hairless branches which bend downwards when mature, giving the inflorescence a barbed-wire appearance. The [[spikelet]]s are paired, one stalked the other unstalked. <ref name=Rose/> Flowering mostly spring to autumn.<ref name=NSW/>
The [[inflorescence]] of the plant, or the collections of [[flowers]], are a purplish open [[panicle|panicle]], {{convert|10-20|cm|abbr=on}} long with short [[raceme|racemes]] on slender branches. The flowers emit a scent when crushed. The racemes have 3 to 8 pairs of [[spikelet]]s, one stalked the other unstalked. Flowering is late spring to autumn.<ref name=Rose/>

Capillipedium spicigerum, commonly known as Scented-top Grass  [1] is a perennial grass native to Australia.




Description


Capillipedium spicigerum is a tufted perennial bunchgrass, without stolons or rhizomes. The culms, or stems of the grass grow to 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) in height and have hairy nodes.  

The lower leaf sheaths of the plant are silky hairy. The leaf blades are 30–40 cm (12–16 in) long and 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in) wide at the base. [2]

The inflorescence of the plant, or the collections of flowers, are a purplish open panicle, 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 in) long with short racemes on slender branches. The flowers emit a scent when crushed. The racemes have 3 to 8 pairs of spikelets, one stalked the other unstalked. Flowering is late spring to autumn.[3] 



Taxonomy


"Capillipedium spicigerum" was described by S.T. Blake in 1944.[4]






Habitat and Ecology


Capillipedium spicigerum is found on lower fertility soils of roadsides, native pastures and woodlands[3]  of Queensland, New South Wales, and the Northern Territory.[1] C. spicigerum is very drought tolerant and readily grazed.[3]
