About Murdannia graminea (R.Br.) G.Brückn.
Murdannia graminea, commonly known as grass lily, is an upright, tufting perennial herb. It has tuberous roots and ascending stems, reaching a height of 10–60 cm (3.9–23.6 in). Most of its leaves grow from the base, with occasionally a few on aerial stems; the leaves are linear with distinct veins, 5–30 cm (2.0–11.8 in) long and 2–11 mm (0.079–0.433 in) wide. They are usually rough to softly hairy, and have an acute apex. Its flowers grow in small clusters at the end of stems, with three rounded petals that can be mauve, blue or white, and slender pedicels 3–10 mm (0.12–0.39 in) long. Flowering takes place from December to April, and the resulting fruit is ellipsoid-shaped and 6–10 mm (0.24–0.39 in) long. This species grows in woodlands and sclerophyll forest in wetter locations, and is found in New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
