LekhoriLekhoriAn area dominated by grass or grasslike vegetation.
Yet despite sounding inhospitable, grasslands such as this are home to a huge variety of smaller herbs and wildflowers, including some of the UK's rarest orchids and invertebrates, in addition to being home to butterfly species such as the Chalkhill Blue.
From grass + land. Compare Dutch grasland (“grassland”), Faroese graslendi (“grassland”), Icelandic graslendi (“grassland”). Compare also Old English græsmolde (“grassland”).
