The East African montane moorlands is a montane grasslands and shrublands ecoregion which occupies several high mountain peaks in Kenya, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.
[citation needed] The ecoregion occupies an area of 3,300 square kilometers (1,300 sq mi), covering several small mountaintop enclaves.
The ecoregion occupies areas higher than 3,500 metres (11,500 ft) in elevation.
The flora includes many Afroalpine endemic species which are adapted to the harsh conditions.
Above 4500 meters elevation, vegetation is mostly low cushion plants, including Agrostis sclerophylla and Sagina afroalpina, which extend up to the limit of vegetation at around 5000 meters.
