Antarctic pearlwort
colobanthus quitensis latin

Colobanthus quitensis (Antarctic pearlwort) is one of the two flowering plants found in the Antarctic region.

There are only two species of flowering plant, Antarctic hair grass and Antarctic pearlwort, but a range of mosses, liverworts, lichens and macrofungi.

The extensive coastal vegetation includes lichens, mosses and grasses, with Antarctic Hairgrass and Antarctic Pearlwort.

As well as mosses, lichens and algae, the flowering plants Antarctic Hairgrass and Antarctic Pearlwort occur.

Deschampsia antarctica (Antarctic hair grass) is one of two flowering plants native to Antarctica, the other being Colobanthus quitensis (Antarctic pearlwort).

Only two flowering plants inhabit continental Antartica, the Antarctic hair grass (Deschampsia antarctica) and the Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis).

There are no trees or shrubs in Antarctica and just two species of indigenous vascular plants: Antarctic hairgrass (Deschampsia antarctica) and Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis).

Two flowering plants, Deschampsia antarctica (Antarctic hair grass) and Colobanthus quitensis (Antarctic pearlwort), are found on the northern and western parts of the Antarctic Peninsula.

Its topography is undulating, rising to 40 m, with many streams Its abundant vegetation includes mosses, lichens, and two species of vascular plant - Antarctic Hairgrass and Antarctic Pearlwort.

Terrestrial biodiversity in the BAT is very limited; there are no terrestrial mammals or trees and only two flowering plants the Antarctic: hair grass (Deschampsia antarctica) and Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis).

There are very few plants in the British Antarctic Territories and most of them are mosses and lichens, but there are also two flowering plants: the Antarctic hairgrass and Antarctic pearlwort.

The number of genera and species in the Southern Hemisphere is rather small, although the family does contain Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis), the world's southernmost dicot, which is one of only two flowering plants found in Antarctica.

There are about 100 species of mosses and 25 species of liverworts), but only two species of flowering plants, both of which are found in the Antarctic Peninsula: Deschampsia antarctica (Antarctic hair grass) and Colobanthus quitensis (Antarctic pearlwort).

The Terra Firma islands are the southernmost point in the world where grass (Deschampsia antarctica) and flowers (Colobanthus quitensis) grow naturally.

The former lists seven or eight subformations made up of algae, lichens and mosses in varying combinations; the latter includes only one subformation, involving the two antarctic flowering plants, the grass Deschampsia antarctica and the pink or pearlwort Colobanthus quitensis.

There are about 100 species of mosses and 25 species of liverworts), but only two species of flowering plants, both of which are found in the Antarctic Peninsula: Deschampsia antarctica (Antarctic hair grass) and Colobanthus quitensis (Antarctic pearlwort).
