| Species: | Echidna Grass (Triodia scariosa)| This Photo: | 🔍Patch🔎 | Other names: | Porcupine Grass or Spinifex | Thank you Darren Schmitke for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found in the Murray Mallee SA, Riverland and possibly elsewhere Alan Bedggood said "Triodia species are hard to determine without access to the flower spike and, preferably, a couple of individual florets. The size and shape of the three lobes on the floret is diagnostic. The presence or absence of resin on the leaves and sheaths helps"
