Cymbachne Tsaratananensis

Tsaratanana grass, scientifically known as Cymbachne tsaratananensis, is a rare and endemic plant species found exclusively in the high-altitude regions of Madagascar. This unique grass is named after the Tsaratanana mountain range, where it thrives in cool, moist environments with nutrient-poor soils. Its delicate structure and limited distribution make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists alike. Due to habitat loss and climate change, the survival of this species is increasingly threatened. Protecting Tsaratanana grass is crucial for preserving the biodiversity of Madagascar's unique ecosystems.
