	A caespitose or cushion plant is a plant with short stems and branches that grows in dense tufts or clumps, with the flowers held above the clump or tuft.

Cespitose plants are dwarf, sometimes rounded, matted and have the form of a piece of turf. (For example: several or many stems in a close tuft from one rootstock or from many entangled rootstocks or roots crowded together in a cluster but not attached to each other)
