Stipagrostis hirtigluma

provided by wikipedia EN

Stipagrostis hirtigluma (Afrikaans: bloutwa) is a densely tufted perennial grass. It occurs across most of Africa east to Pakistan[1] in bushveld, karoo, and desert regions. In Namibia, it grows in dry, warm parts, in stony or sandy places and on rocky outcrops.

There are three subspecies of Stipagrostis hirtigluma:

  • Stipagrostis hirtigluma subsp. hirtigluma (Steud. ex Trin. & Rupr.) De Winter – most of Africa through Middle East to South Asia (Pakistan)[2]
  • Stipagrostis hirtigluma subsp. patula (Hack.) De Winter – southern Africa, from Angola to Mozambique and south[3]
  • Stipagrostis hirtigluma var. pearsonii (Henrard) De Winter – Angola and Namibia[4][5]

Stipa hirtigluma subsp. hirtigluma and S. h. subsp. pearsonii display many similarities.[6]
