27-407: A limited capacity to resprout following fire damage. Fire in any gidgee woodland would be a rare event under natural circumstances, since pasture is at best sparse in these communities, consisting of Chloris , Setaria (syn. Paspalidium ), Dicanthium , Sporobolus and Eragrostis species. Chloris (plant) Chloris is a widespread genus of monophyletic grasses belonging to
36-561: Is characterized by the series of sterile florets above the lowest fertile ones, spikes usually 4–10 in numbers (occasionally 1–2), approximated or in a slightly separated series of 10–20 spikes, rarely an indefinite numbers of terminal spikes (then usually up to 50 or rarely more, as seen in Chloris roxburghiana Schultes). In India, 11 species are known to occur in which only two are endemic viz. Chloris wightiana Nees ex Steud. and Chloris bournei Rangachariar & Tadulingam. The genus

54-637: Is found primarily on flat and gently undulating terrain on heavy and relatively fertile clay and clay-loam soils in the eastern part of it range, and often forms mixed communities with brigalow which favours the same soil types. In drier regions, gidgee is found primarily on red earths and loams in wetter depression and low-relief areas. Gidgee communities are floristically similar to brigalow communities. Eucalyptus cambageana , E. populnea , Corymbia terminalis , Eremophila mitchellii and Geijera parviflora are typical woody species associated with gidgee communities. Species associated with gidgee have
63-499: The Northern Territory , South Australia and north-western New South Wales . It can reach up to 12 m in height and can form extensive open woodland communities. The leaves, bark, and litter of A. cambagei produce a characteristic odour, vaguely reminiscent of boiled cabbage, gas or sewage that accounts for the common name of 'stinking gidgee'. Confined to regions between 550 and 200 mm annual rainfall, A. cambagei
72-488: The family Poaceae , known generally as windmill grass or finger grass . The genus is found worldwide, but especially in the tropical and subtropical regions, and more often in the Southern Hemisphere. The species are variable in morphology, but in general, the plants are less than 0.5 m in height. They bear inflorescences shaped like umbels , with several plumes lined with rows of spikelets . The genus
81-582: Was named for Chloris of Greek myth, a figure associated with flowers and spring. 53 species are currently accepted.
