Pertya robusta

Pertya robusta is characterized by its robust, evergreen nature and dense, hair-like bristles along its stems and leaves. This hardy perennial adapts well to mountainous terrains, often contributing to the shrub layer of forested slopes. Its striking, fluffy seed heads emerge after small, inconspicuous flowers, aiding in wind-dispersal among the high altitude ecosystems it thrives in.
