Panicum decompositum

Panicum decompositum, known by the common names native millet, native panic, Australian millet, papa grass, and umbrella grass, is a species of perennial grass native to the inland of Australia. It occurs in every mainland state.[1] The seeds can be cultivated to produce flour typically used in Aboriginal bushfood.[2] The species is also considered to have relatively high palatability by livestock, making it suitable for grazing pastures.[1]
