This appeared in spring with lots of other pioneer weeds and grasses after we'd had some bobcat work done on our property (subtropical Queensland, Australia) and the ground was disturbed. It didn't grow rampantly or get out of control, and was quite pretty while it was around- I haven't seen it since.
