Entolasia stricta, commonly known as wiry panic, is a species of right angled grass in the family Poaceae. It is found in eastern Australia on sandy or sandstone-based soils. The leaves are inrolled or curved inwards and somewhat rough to the touch.[1] It first appeared in scientific literature in 1810 as Panicum strictum in the Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae, authored by the prolific Scottish botanist Robert Brown.[2] It was given its current name in 1923.[3]
