Cymbopogon obtectus is a species of perennial grass in the genus Cymbopogon. The grass is native to Australia[1] and was described by Stanley Thatcher Blake in 1944.[2][3] It is found in drier areas.[4] The plant can be harvested in the wild to produce essential oil with medicinal properties.[4] The plant is resilient to climate change, and has been used in re-vegetation projects.[3]
