Summary

[edit]
Description Stipa comata var. comata, needle and thread grass, co-dominates the grasslands around Medicine Rocks State Park, along with other native grasses such as Andropogon scoparius (little bluestem) and Koeleria macrantha (prairie Junegrass), but also the exotic Poa pratensis (Kentucky bluegrass). Stipa comata var. comata, with its inflated leaf sheath that encloses the basal portion of the inflorescence, predominates throughout Montana in open arid settings, including in sagebrush steppe and open understory of Ponderosa pine. The inflorescence partially enclosed in the leaf sheath may facilitate the intertwining of the lemma awns such that fruit-containing florets disperse as a bunch and self-cache by the twisting of the awns with changing atmospheric humidity.
