Mibora

Mibora is a genus of grasses in the family Poaceae. It contains a single species, Mibora minima, commonly known as early sand-grass.

Mibora minima is a small, annual grass found primarily in coastal regions of Europe, particularly the Atlantic coast. It prefers sandy soils and habitats such as dunes, sandy heaths, and open areas.

The grass is characterized by its small size, typically reaching only a few centimeters in height. Its inflorescence is a dense, spike-like panicle containing few spikelets. The spikelets themselves are small and often purplish in color. Mibora minima typically flowers early in the spring.

The conservation status of Mibora minima varies depending on the region. In some areas, it is considered rare or threatened due to habitat loss and disturbance. Conservation efforts may include protecting existing habitats and managing grazing pressure.

Synonyms for Mibora minima include Chamagrostis minima and Sturmia minima.
