Melica arzivencoi is a small perennial wild grass from southern Brazil, growing in tufts with thin rhizomes, found in grassy and rocky areas. It is rarely grown in gardens, so care advice is based on general needs of similar Melica grasses.
Melica arzivencoi is a grass species in the family Poaceae that is endemic to Brazil where it can be found in Rio Grande do Sul. It was described by Valls and Barcellos in 1973.
It grows in grassy, woody landscapes, and on rocks at elevations of 2,770 metres (9,090 ft). In some cases they require moisture that should be at 900–1,000 metres (3,000–3,300 ft). Flowers bloom from December to February.
