Description

Luzula arcuata is a short (up to 10 cm), tufted, shortly rhizomatous, grass-like perennial herb. The longer flower stalks droop, curving downwards.[3]:941

Distribution

It has a very local distribution, confined to open ground and mountain summit plateaux that are sufficiently exposed to be kept snow-free.[1][3] Its native distribution includes Iceland, Svalbard, northern Norway and Scottish mountains and mountains of Western North America and the Kamchatka peninsula.[2]
