Brachypodium Rupestre F. Abbreviatum

Brachypodium rupestre f. abbreviatum is a compact, drought-tolerant grass species native to rocky and arid regions. It forms low-growing mats with narrow, gray-green leaves and produces small, spike-like inflorescences. This plant is often used in landscaping for its ornamental value and ability to thrive in poor soil conditions. Its unique appearance and hardy nature make it a popular choice for xeriscaping and rock gardens. Despite its modest size, it plays an important role in stabilizing soil and supporting local wildlife.
