About Scleropogon brevifolius Phil.
Scleropogon is a monotypic grass genus, meaning it contains only one single species: Scleropogon brevifolius, which is commonly known as burrograss. This grass species occurs in two separate regions globally: in North America, it ranges from the southwestern United States down to central Mexico; in South America, it is found in Chile and Argentina. Scleropogon brevifolius is a perennial mat-forming grass, characterized by sharp, tufted leaves and firm awns. It may be dioecious, with male (staminate) and female (pistillate) individuals growing in distinct separate colonies.
