There are some grasses which although not easy to identify , grow in specialised habitats and this is one. P. strigosa prefers barish or sandy ground near the sea where salt spray and sometimes sea water will encroach. It has a distinctive and erect sometimes lightly curved habit, with a stiffness which give it its name.
