Festuca edlundiae, commonly known as Edlund's fescue, is a native, perennial tufted grass found in Alaska, Canadian arctic islands, northern Greenland, far eastern arctic Russia and Svalbard.[1] The specific name honours Doctor Sylvia Edlund, a Canadian botanist. It was first described by S.G.Aiken, Consaul and Lefk in 1995.[2]
Description
It is closely related to Festuca brachyphylla. The plant is similar to Boreal fescue (Festuca hyperborea) but has flag leaf (final leaf) blades that are 5mm or longer and has larger spikelets. It grows in dense clumps without rhizomes.[3]
Habitat
The plant grows in the high arctic in fine-grained and calcareous soils.
