Table 8 Grass pollen seasons timing and temporal overlap in Australasia[48,94-98]
RegionsGrass pollen seasons timing and temporal overlap with other types of pollen
AustraliaSubtropical northern regions (Brisbane, Queensland): grass pollen season, such as for Paspalum notatum, Sorghum halepense and Cynodon dactylon, from summer to autumn months, December to April, overlaps with the pollen season of groundsel bush (Baccharis halimifolia, Asteraceae family)
Oceanic southern regions (Melbourne, Victoria): temperate grasses pollinate especially in spring, from September to November, overlapping with trees Cupressus and Betula spp pollen season
New ZealandTemperate grasses form the major component of atmospheric pollen levels during spring and summer (October to February) and Plantago spp pollen season overlap
