Tulcan Feather Grass (Stipa tulcanensis)

The Tulcan Feather Grass is only known from type material collected in the late 1870s somewhere in the Carchi Province, in the Andes of Ecuador.

The species’ scientific name is considered ‘unplaced’, meaning further research is needed to clarify the exact status of the plant.
