Pyrungata Prairiegrass

Description

This Cyperaceae is maybe the most common lifeform of the archipelago, it grows to a high up 200 meters at the flangs of the mountains and need just sun and a bit water. Nutrients and water be stored in the small potato-like tubers.
Cyperaceae are very successful on this islands because they need less lime than other grasses. Some species evolve to big tree-like plants (lime is a rare thing on vulcanic islands ;)).
They dominated the dryer parts of the archipelago and are a important food source for planteaters.
