Names
Eriocaulon dregei var sonderianum [family ERIOCAULACEAE]
Habitat
At high altitudes, where ice and snow occur in win­ter, the dwarfed plants of var. sonderianum are found. The sheath that covers the young inflorescence splits api-cally into 4 small spreading dry lobes, which is very characteristic of this form. Normally the sheath bursts sideways forming one large, somewhat hooded lobe and 1 or 2 small ones.
