New Mexico needlegrass

Hesperostipa neomexicana

Formerly Stipa neomexicana. Cool season, very drought tolerant, short-lived, perennial bunchgrass adapted to deep, well-drained soils in dry upland desert shrub and pinyon-juniper communities. Similar to Needle and thread (H. comata ssp. comata) but with much longer, hairy awns; may occur on slightly heavier soils.
