Would be good to see the inflorescence on this one (when it emerges next spring/summer)

I should add that the purpose for dropping it off at the herbarium is to get a verified ID (my ID could be wrong) and to formalise the record, especially important as this appears to be the first record of the species for the ACT.

That is a good question. Given it is a species from west of the divide, I would assume seed has been brought in with soil eg. gravel for tracks or mud in vehicle wheel wells. Tragus australianus, also a western grass. Is present along much of the length of Parkes Way through to the airport, likely a part of the red gravels imported to fill the median strip. It's possible your plants are associated with the construction of the light rail.
