Definition
Growing in compact tufts or clumps; describing plants arranged in dense, rounded groups.
Etymology
From Latin caespes meaning 'sod' or 'turf,' plus the suffix -ose meaning 'having the nature of.' Cespitose is the most common botanical term for this growth pattern.
Kelly Says
Cespitose plants are nature's way of preventing erosion—when plants grow in tight tufts, their roots create an interconnected mat that holds soil together better than individual plants ever could!
