Chaetochloa Verticillata Var. Breviseta

Cape grass, scientifically known as Chaetochloa verticillata var. breviseta, is a hardy perennial plant native to the coastal regions of southern Africa. It thrives in sandy or gravelly soils and is commonly found along dunes and shorelines. Its distinctive features include its tufted growth habit and silky, wind-dispersed seeds that aid in its propagation. This resilient plant plays a vital role in stabilizing coastal dunes and preventing erosion. Due to its adaptability and ecological importance, Cape grass is a key species in coastal restoration projects.
