Phalaris Aquatica var. Australian Help!
    #7645254 - 11/16/07 06:24 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I have recently obtained this strain of Phalaris grass from a very reputable source, and it arrived by mail in great condition. however, as the days have passed, my beautiful green plant has been turning all brown and I am afraid it might die. Ive been watering it as recommended, and have given it sufficient lighting, but it is to no avail. What could be going on? Any help would be Much appreciated.

there's some info on this strain here, including conditions for growth:
Phalaris strains

Phalaris aquatica cv. Australian [Reg. No. A-3a-1]

(aka Phalaris aquatica cv. Australian Commercial and "Toowoomba Canary Grass")

This originated from seeds introduced into Australia in 1884 from the Agricultural Department of New York State (as P. commutata). While its origin is unclear, it is believed to have originally been collected in Italy and brought to the US.

cv. Australian is a vigorous strain once established and is able to withstand both drought and waterlogged conditions.

Its leaf sheaths contain a pink red pigment which give a colored exudate if young shoots are cut near their base (stem base of young seedlings is pink).

The coleoptile is green.

If its seeds are grown in the dark, the young root tips are cream with a slight yellow tint which stands in contrast to both P. minor and many strains of P. aquatica which have young root tips of red when grown in the dark.

cv. Australian is similar to Harding-grass but has slightly finer and narrower leaves as well as being somewhat less productive in late Fall and early Winter.

It is adapted to areas of mild moist winters and hot dry summers. It shows summer dormancy unless temperatures are mild with continued rainfall.

It shows its most vigorous growth in spring and fall. Growth will continue during winter if conditions are mild.

The seed shatters easily with about 882,000 per kilogram.

Seedlings are poor in vigor and slow in establishment.

They are sensitive to competition especially if light levels are impaired.

It does best in heavy textured soils and responds well to high levels of fertilization.

Once established it is extremely persistent even under heavy grazing.

Its predominate alkaloid is DMT.


Some published accounts:

280 nmol of DMT and 150 nmol of 5-MeO-DMT and 200 nmol of Gramine/ 100 7-day old seedlings. (10 grams)
- Mulvena & Slaytor 1983.

Foliage: 0.1% DMT and 0.05% 5-MeO-DMT by dry wt. Gramine was also present.

Bufotenine, Tryptophan, Tryptamine, 5-Hydroxytryptamine, 5-Methoxytryptamine all were present at trace levels. They isolated Gramine, DMT and 5-MeO-DMT from fresh young seedlings.
- Baxter & Slaytor 1972:

Regrowth taken three weeks after cutting to ground level and commencing nitrogen treatments showed in excess of 40 mg per 100 grams of dry weight [0.040%] while those grown nearby without clover or added nitrogen contained only 11 mg per 100 grams dry weight.
- Moore et al. 1967.
