Vulpia

Vulpia is a genus of slender, annual grasses typically thriving in dry and sandy soils. These plants are highlighted by their fine-textured, wiry leaves and dense, spike-like flower clusters that rise gracefully above the foliage. Adapted to survive in less fertile environments, vulpia has developed a robust root system which allows it to efficiently utilize sparse resources, making it a resilient inhabitant of challenging terrains.
