Stipa (Greek, stipe, tow, in allusion to the plumose awns of some of the species). Gramineae. Perennial grasses with narrow involute lvs. and usually loose panicles: spikelets 1-fld.; glumes membranaceous, longer than the indurated lemma; lemma with a sharp hairy callus below and a stout persistent twisted awn above, falling from the glumes at maturity.—A large genus of about 100 species, throughout the world except the colder parts. Particularly characteristic of the plains, savannas, and steppes. The long-awned, sharp-pointed frs. of some species are troublesome or even dangerous to stock, especially sheep, on account of their tendency to work through the skin and into the vital organs. The species here mentioned are cult. for ornament, including the making of dry bouquets.
