Type: Endemic Plant | Status: Critically Endangered | Nativeness: Endemic
Small, perennial, tuft forming grass found on damp, wind-exposed banks and outcrops around on the upper slopes of Green Mountain. Dead leaves do not decompose easily and often the only living material in a tuft consists of a few leaves and infloresences at the centre, insulated from the wind by dead growth.
