Explanation

The Antarctic Peninsula is home to three species of flowering plants.
These species are Deschampsia antarctica (Antarctic hair grass), Colobanthus quitensis (Antarctic pearlwort), and the non-native Poa annua (annual bluegrass).
The presence of these flowering plants is relatively limited in Antarctica due to the harsh climate and unfavorable growing conditions.
