Eragrostis episcopulus
Cliff Hair Grass is a rare perennial grass found only on cliffs on the island of St. Helena, and it is Critically Endangered. It is not a common garden plant, so growing it is mainly a matter of conservation or specialist collections.
Eragrostis episcopulus, the cliff hair grass, is a species of grass endemic to St. Helena. The species is classified as Critically Endangered because of its extremely restricted range and population fragmentation.
It is found on cliffs of St. Helena, at 250 to 550 m (820 to 1,800 ft) above sea level.
