Lorenzochloa erectifolia is a perennial grass from montane tropical areas of Central and northern South America. It is a wild species with no established role in home gardening, so care notes are general guidance for a grass of this type.
Lorenzochloa erectifolia is a species of perennial flowering plant in the grass family. The species is native to Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela.
The genus name Lorenzochloa is in honour of Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi (1895–1966), who was an Argentine botanist and agricultural engineer, professor of botany in Buenos Aires and La Plata with a focus on South American grasses.
