But it died and after that I realised it was not a grass at all. I

A very interesting history. The genus was traditionally placed under
Saxifragaceae and followed in most Floras. More recently it was shifted to a
separate family Parnassiaceae far removed from Saxifragaceae (placed under
Saxifragales) under order Celastrales in APG II as well
You are right!
Still people (some, espl students) have the tendency of collecting more
number of samples of rare and threatened species. Because they think that
they can not collect it again elsewhere so they want to collect as much as
possible (and sometimes howmuchever available in that place!).
