Stipa pulcherrima (Stipa pulcherrima)
Description
It is 40-100 centimetres (16-39 in) high while its eciliate membrane is 5-7 millimetres (0.20-0.28 in) long. It leaf-blades are erect, conduplicated, and sometimes ascend. They are 20-40 centimetres (7.9-15.7 in) long and are 1-1.5 millimetres (0.039-0.059 in) wide with smooth surface which can also be scaberulous and glabrous. The panicles are smooth and contracted. Also they are elliptic and 10-15 centimetres (3.9-5.9 in) in length. They bear a few spikelets which are glabrous or ciliate and can range from 45-70 millimetres (1.8-2.8 in) in length. Compressed spikelets have only 1 floret which doesn't have rhachilla extension. It floret callus is elongated, bearded, pungent, straight, curved and is 3-4 millimetres (0.12-0.16 in) in length. It glumes are similar to the fertile spikelet. The lower glume is 60-80 millimetres (2.4-3.1 in) long and is lanceolate. The upper glume is also lanceolated and is 40-70 millimetres (1.6-2.8 in) long.
