Deschampsia Cespitosa Subsp. Obensis

Ovens' bluegrass, scientifically known as Deschampsia cespitosa subsp. obensis, is a hardy grass species native to the high altitudes of the Australian Alps. It thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in alpine meadows and rocky outcrops. This subspecies is distinguished by its dense, blue-green foliage and tufted growth habit, making it a striking feature of its habitat. Its resilience to harsh weather conditions makes it an important component of alpine ecosystems. Despite its beauty, Ovens' bluegrass remains relatively obscure, with limited research on its ecological role and conservation status.
