Austrodanthonia Setacea
''Rytidosperma setaceum'', known by various common names including small-flowered wallaby-grass, mulga- or bristly wallaby-grass, is a species of grass native to Australia. Originally described by Robert Brown (botanist, born 1773), Robert Brown under the name ''Danthonia setacea'', it was transferred into ''Austrodanthonia'' by Hans Peter Linder in 1993 and finally ''Rytidosperma'' in 2011. From the earlier name, ''setacea'' means bristle or stiff hair. It is a species with short bristles and the smallest delicate in appearance of the wallaby grasses., page 19. It grows as a perennial clump, with flowering stems from 15 to 60 cm high. It flowers from September to December. References

His contributions include one of the earliest detailed descriptions of the cell nucleus and cytoplasmic streaming; the observation of Brownian motion; early work on plant pollination and fertilisation, including being the first to recognise the fundamental difference between gymnosperms and angiosperms; and some of the earliest studies in palynology. He also made numerous contributions to plant taxonomy, notably erecting a number of plant families that are still accepted today; and numerous Australian plant genera and species, the fruit of his exploration of that continent with Matthew Flinders. Early life Robert Brown was born in Montrose on 21 December 1773, in a house that existed on the site where Montrose Library currently stands. He was the son of James Brown, a minister in the ...
