Dasyochloa

Dasyochloa is a monotypic genus containing the single species Dasyochloa pulchella (formerly Erioneuron pulchellum), also known as desert fluff-grass or low woollygrass. It is a densely tufted perennial grass found in the deserts of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.

==Description== It is a perennial bunchgrass forming small tufts just a few centimeters high with clumps of short, sharp-pointed leaves. The tufts are often enveloped in masses of cottony fibers; these are actually hairlike strands of excreted and evaporated mineral salts.
