Scleranthus fasciculatus, commonly known as spreading knawel, is a rare, spreading, non-woody herb found in the south-eastern states of Australia and introduced to New Zealand.[1][2] The species is found in dry grassland habitats[1] and requires the maintenance of inter-tussock spaces for its establishment and persistence.[2] A number of anthropogenic factors have contributed to the species decline such as impacts from land clearing, road construction and maintenance, and herbicide application.[2]
