Staberoha banksii pendulous spikelets, rigid culms

The male Staberoha banksii spikelets are top-shaped, nodding in inflorescences of up to ten at the top of each producing culm.

There is a small brown spathe around the thin spikelet peduncles growing in more than one cluster. The numerous, pointed brown bracts, each subtending a floret, are cartilaginous, spreading and hiding the tiny florets (Dorrat-Haaksma and Linder, 2012; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist; JSTOR).
