Description

Nassella tenuis, Flowering time: Observed in flower in the month of November and December. Habitat and ecology: It is a species typical of the herbaceous steppe, where it can form prairies where it is dominant, it can also appear in the shrub steppe among the shrubs. This species is relatively easy to recognize, is smaller than other species of the same group. The leaves are rough to the touch, turn brown at the end of spring. The edge of the antecio is quite long and flexible, characteristically tends to recur on itself. It does not form any vilano on the edge, but presents a small crown just above the antecio. The antecipum is tuberculate in the lower third. It is very common that the forties with their edges are sticking very annoyingly in the socks of the walker, showing how effective their system of dispersal by animals.
