It grows in rocky habitats in many of the mountains chains across Europe, in the countries of Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Yugoslavia.

Johann Rudolf Suter
Johann Rudolf Suter (29 March 1766, Zofingen – 24 February 1827, Bern) was a Swiss physician, botanist and philologist. Life He studied natural history at the University of Göttingen, obtaining his PhD in 1787. From 1791 to 1793, he studied medicine at University of Mainz, Mainz, and after receiving his medical doctorate at Göttingen (1794), he became a medical practitioner in his hometown of Zofingen. From 1798 to 1801, he was a member of the council for the Helvetian Republic, and afterwards was a practicing physician and private scientist in Bern (1801–1804) and Zofingen (1811–1820). In 1820 he was appointed a professor of philosophy and ancient Greek, Greek at the University of Bern, Academy of Bern. He was the author of the two-volume ''Flora Helvetica'' (1802). The plant genus ''Sutera (plant), Sutera'' (family Scrophulariaceae) was named in his honor by German botanist Albrecht Wilhelm Roth (1807).

Poaceae
Poaceae () or Gramineae () is a large and nearly ubiquitous family of monocotyledonous flowering plants commonly known as grasses. It includes the cereal grasses, bamboos and the grasses of natural grassland and species cultivated in lawns and pasture. The latter are commonly referred to collectively as grass. With around 780 genera and around 12,000 species, the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family, following the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae. The Poaceae are the most economically important plant family, providing staple foods from domesticated cereal crops such as maize, wheat, rice, barley, and millet as well as feed for meat-producing animals. They provide, through direct human consumption, just over one-half (51%) of all dietary energy; rice provides 20%, wheat supplies 20%, maize (corn) 5.5%, and other grains 6%. Some members of the Poaceae are used as building materials (bamboo, thatch, and straw); others can provide a source of biofuel, ...

Festuca
''Festuca'' (fescue) is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the grass family Poaceae (subfamily Pooideae). They are evergreen or herbaceous perennial tufted grasses with a height range of and a cosmopolitan distribution, occurring on every continent except Antarctica. The genus is closely related to ryegrass (''Lolium''), and recent evidence from phylogenetic studies using DNA sequencing of plant mitochondrial DNA shows that the genus lacks monophyly. As a result, plant taxonomists have moved several species, including the forage grasses tall fescue and meadow fescue, from the genus ''Festuca'' into the genus ''Lolium'', or alternatively into the segregate genus ''Schedonorus''. Because the taxonomy is complex, scientists have not determined how many true species belong to the genus, but estimates range from more than 400 to over 640.Darbyshire, S. J. and L. E.
