Melica Litoralis Var. Paulsenii

Melica litoralis var. paulsenii is a rare and delicate grass species native to coastal regions of western North America. It thrives in sandy or gravelly soils along shorelines and is often found in areas with high salinity and wind exposure. This variant is distinguished by its compact growth habit and narrow, grass-like leaves. Due to its limited distribution and specific habitat requirements, it is considered a species of conservation concern. Its unique ecological role and beauty make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists alike.
