- Observation Fertile seed percentage ranged from 6·0 to 94·2% among native species.
- Observation Ten native species produced at least 800 fertile seeds per gram.
- Observation Germination rates ranged from 11·0 to 98·8%.
- Intervention effect One year of storage reduced germination in one species.
- Intervention effect One year of storage did not affect germination in three species.
- Intervention effect One year of storage increased germination two to tenfold in 14 species.
- Observation After two years of storage, six species had lower germination.
- Observation Two species flowered in the first year after sowing.
- Observation Eight additional species flowered in the second observation year.
- Observation Melinis minutiflora produced 2820 fertile seeds per gram, over three times the native species.
- Observation Melinis minutiflora had 55% germination.
- Observation Melinis minutiflora had 1551 germinable seeds per gram.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that most native grass species can be used in restoration.
