Ehrharta erecta is a species of grass also known as panic veldtgrass or perennial veldt grass.[1] The species is native to Southern Africa and Yemen. It is a documented invasive species in the United States, New Zealand, Australia, southern Europe, and China.
The species is perennial, and normally grows to about 30 to 50 centimeters, although it may reach two meters in height.
The species has been used for birdseed and in ecological restoration, like dune stabilization. However it has become an invasive weed in many areas.[2][3]
