Aristida Sorzogonensis F. Orizabensis

Orizaba grass, scientifically known as Aristida sorzogonensis f. orizabensis, is a rare and unique grass species native to the high-altitude regions of Mexico. This plant is characterized by its slender, grass-like structure and distinctive flowering spikes that appear in late spring. It thrives in rocky and well-drained soils, often found in mountainous environments with cool temperatures. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, Orizaba grass is considered a vulnerable species facing threats from environmental changes. Its study offers valuable insights into the adaptation strategies of plants in extreme ecological conditions.
