Chusquea mimosa subsp. australis
From southern Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul at about 29 degrees S latitude. It can withstand light frost, perhaps a bit more, heat tolerance may not be as big a problem for this plant as for some other species of Chusquea. The small leaves appear in tight whorls on burgundy to pink culms culms and branches. A personal favorite!
