Dura niveus looks very similar.

The Dura (genus) is recognozed by the AFD as is also D. niveus.

I wanted to suggest Dura (genus) but inexplicably the system replaces my suggestion with Aira (genus)!

It is till doing it today. Have you asked "management" or plant/monocot moderators bout this? Aira is a genus of grass (Poaceae) called Hairgrass. ALA does not list Dura as a synonym for Aira as far as I can see. There are however a couple of moncots that have dura as a species - Sclerochloa dura (Hardgrass) is introduced grass found in Australia used for turf also - Lomandra multiflora subsp. dura - Stiff Iron-grass whose natural S.A. community is critically endangered.
OR this has nothing to do with it.

With a bit of working around,
I have added: Dura (genus) to NatureMapr's taxonomy.
(I have not yet worked out what the interaction was with grasses genus Aira .)
