A tufted, perennial, native Panic, to one metre, which can dominate heavy soils where heavy grazing occurs to suppress competition. "Panicles widely spreading, up to 40cm long" (Stanley and Ross, 1989). The panicles of this species can be seen piled against fences or as giant, weakly attached masses moving and morphing in shape in sympathy with wind currents. Summer flowering in nature and may not participate well in seasons with late rain.

We have observed P. queenslandicum germinating strongly and flowering on rehabilitation sites with strongly saline-sodic spoil in central Queensland. The seed is shiny and hard coated, with excellent flowability and ballistic qualities.
