Kangaroo grass - Themeda triandra

''Themeda triandra'' is a perennial tussock-forming grass widespread in Africa, Australia, Asia and the Pacific. In Australia it is commonly known as kangaroo grass and in East Africa and South Africa it is known as red grass and red oat grass or as ''rooigras'' in Afrikaans. It does not do well under heavy grazing pressure, but benefits from occasional fire.
