Chionochloa rubra
Red Tussock
This grass, endemic to New Zealand, is often found in great drifts in lowland and low-alpine areas in the volcanic mountains. Common on the mineral belts of the South Island and on poorly drained peaty valley floors or rolling slopes mostly below the tree line. Not especially showy in flower, but attractive for the strong red-copper foliage. It can grow to be 3-4' tall.
