This is a moorland grass which prefers acidic soils so it is present throught Scotland, northern Ireland, Wales and northern England but scarce in central and pasrt of southern England where the limestone or chalk dominates. It is a distinctive grass which grows in tufts of spiky leaves and flower stems. The anthers always seem to be disproportionately large for the flowerhead.
