Agrostis schraderiana

Agrostis schraderiana is a perennial bunchgrass in the family Poaceae, native to the mountains of Europe, particularly the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians and Balkan ranges, as well as parts of western Asia. It forms loose tufts and typically grows 30–80 cm tall, producing slender, erect culms bearing open, diffuse panicles of small, single-flowered spikelets at flowering. The leaves are narrow, flat to involute, with a membranous ligule. Like other bent-grasses (Agrostis) it grows in subalpine and alpine meadows, open coniferous forest clearings, and disturbed mountain slopes on a wide range of soils. The species is a component of montane to subalpine grassland communities and is grazed by livestock and wildlife but is not specifically cultivated.
