Biology: On its affinities Vickery stated: "The straggling branching habit of this species, together with the generally narrower and more attenuate blades and usually glabrous lemmas seem to distinguish this species from P. clelandii. The coarser, firmer foliage and apparent lack of extravaginal aerial shoots serves to differentiate it from the more delicate P. tenera".
