Austrostipa is a primarily Australia n genus of plants in the grass family, commonly called speargrass.[1][2][3][4]
The genus includes species formerly included in the genus Stipa. All known species are native to Australia , most of them found nowhere else. One species (A. variabilis) is, however, found in South Africa as well as in Australia , and two species (A. setacea + A. stipoides) are native to Australia and New Zealand.[5] The group likely originated in Australia approximately 20 million years ago.[6]
