Poa labillardierei, also known as common tussock-grass,[2] is a species of tussock grass that is endemic to Australia.

[5] The species was formally described in 1854 by German botanist and physician Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel in Synopsis Plantarum Glumacearum.

[6] The name is derived from Poa - Greek word which means "fodder" and labillardierei - after the French botanist and explorer, J.J.H.

[4] Poa labillardierei is a dense coarsely tufted grasses and can reach a height of 120 cm.

[7] Poa labillardierei can be propagated by division and germinates readily from seed, into prepared soil in autumn and winter.

[4] The seedlings cannot grow in an area of continuous dry climate and needs moist soil to establish, but can germinate in frost and can tolerate a temperature in the 0 to -5 °C range.

[10][11] Common tussock grass also provides excellent habitat for invertebrates, both in abundance and species richness.
