Agrostis Anemagrostis Subsp. Spica-Venti

Agrostis anemagrostis subsp. spica-venti is a rare and wind-pollinated grass species known for its unique adaptations to harsh environments. Found primarily in mountainous and coastal regions, it thrives in areas with strong winds and poor soil conditions. Its slender stems and feathery flowers are designed to catch and utilize air currents for reproduction. This subspecies is often overlooked due to its small size and inconspicuous appearance. Studying spica-venti offers insights into plant resilience and evolutionary strategies in extreme climates.
