is a common species in the upper Maloti-Drakensberg mountains. In areas with enough moisture and low grazing pressure, the species can be the dominant grass species, forming dense tussocks to 0.5 m diameter. As in many large grass tussocks, a few shoots can appear to be rhizomatous, but are actually stooling shoots as in

(see below). Under high grazing pressure, plants become smaller and weaker and sparsely distributed. Plants seem to tolerate burning well. The species displays unusual diversity in lemma pubescence, varying from glabrous to pubescent on three veins, to pubescent on five veins and sometimes between veins and callus hairs may be present or absent. Flowers are pistillate and/or perfect within plants, anthers are 1.5-2.7 mm long or vestigial. 2

, many plants have spikelets with pistillate upper flowers. Other plants exhibit more pistillate flowers within spikelets and wholly pistillate spikelets. The latter are concentrated on the lower branches of panicles. Some plants were judged to be completely pistillate. The sterile rudiments of anthers (staminodes), present in pistillate flowers, are believed to result from genetic control, not from apomixis. All other florets, spikelets and sometimes whole plants examined were perfect-flowered. The breeding system of
