Rytidosperma unarede
Rytidosperma unarede (Māori: Unarede), also known as cliff fairy grass is a vascular plant in the family Poaceae (the grass family). It is indigenous to New Zealand and Lord Howe Island. It was first described as Danthonia unarede by Étienne Raoul in 1844. The specific epithet unarede is likely derived from the Māori name of the plant.
The grass is native to New Zealand, where it is found on the Kermadec, Three Kings, North, South, Stewart, and Chatham Islands. It is apparently rare to west of Main Divide in the South Island.
