Agrostis subulata is a grass (i.e., a member of the Poaceae family), which grows only on Campbell Island [3] [4] and on Antipodes Island in New Zealand. [4]
Agrostis subulata is a perennial, densely tufted, clumping grass, with erect dull blue-green leaves which are taller than the spiked inflorescences. [3] [4]
It is found in herbfields, in Chionochloa antarctica grasslands and on peat covered rock ledges. [4]
Agrostis subulata was first described in 1845 by Joseph Hooker in his Flora Antarctica. [3] [1]
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]
