Lolium Temulentum Subsp. Oliganthum

Lolium temulentum subsp. oliganthum is a lesser-known variant of the common ryegrass found in temperate regions. It is characterized by its compact growth habit and distinctive, narrow leaves. This subspecies is often overlooked due to its similarity to other grasses but holds ecological significance in certain habitats. Its small, spike-like inflorescence and pale green coloration make it unique among its relatives. Despite its modest appearance, it plays a role in soil stabilization and supports local insect populations.
