Heteropogon triticeus
Heteropogon triticeus is a tropical, perennial tussock grass with a native distribution encompassing Tropical and Temperate Asia, Malesia and Northern and Eastern Australia. The plant grows to over 2 metres (6.6 ft) in height and is favoured in most environments by frequent burning. The plants develop characteristic dark seeds with a single long awn at one end and a sharp spike at the other. The awn becomes twisted when dry and straightens when moistened, and in combination with the spike is capable of drilling the seed into the soil.[1]

Uses
gollark: Anyway, is it not often more convenient to add by code? You can just get an egg, then put in its code, versus putting in your scrollname, checking the box, and all that.
gollark: I have already put in a request for an API key.
gollark: Basically, my hatchery is currently best for topping up views but not unique views.
gollark: Views are capped at 15 * unique views.
gollark: That'd explain why it's stuck in the hatchery and hasn't been removed.
