Description

Agrostis subulata is a perennial, densely tufted, clumping grass, with erect dull blue-green leaves which are taller than the spiked inflorescences.[3][4]

Habitat

It is found in herbfields, in Chionochloa antarctica grasslands and on peat covered rock ledges.[4]

Taxonomy

Agrostis subulata was first described in 1845 by Joseph Hooker in his Flora Antarctica.[3][1]

Conservation status

In both 2009 and 2012 it was deemed to be "At Risk - Naturally Uncommon" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System,[4] and this New Zealand classification was reaffirmed in 2018 (due to its restricted range).[2]
