They are placed in the subfamily Pooideae and the tribe Stipeae, which also contains many species formerly assigned to Stipa, which have since been reclassified into new genera. Many species are important forage crops. Several species such as Stipa brachytricha, S. arundinacea, S. splendens, S. gigantea and S. pulchra are used as ornamental plants. One former species, esparto grass (Macrochloa tenacissima), is used for crafts and extensively in paper making. It is a coarse grass with inrolled leaves and a panicle patterned inflorescence.[3] Ecology [edit] Species of the genus Stipa can occur in grasslands[4] or in savanna habitats. Certain specific prairie plant associations are dominated by grasses of the genus Stipa, which genus often lends its name to the terminology of some prairie types.[5] In some areas of the western United States grasses of the genus Stipa form a significant part of the understory of Blue Oak[clarification needed] savannas, and were even a more important element prehistorically before the invasion of many European grasses.[6] Species [edit] As of August 2025[update], Plants of the World Online accepted 141 species and primary hybrids.[2] Roshev.\n*''[[Stipa balansae]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"H.Scholz"}},"i":22}},"\n*''[[Stipa × balkanabatica]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"M.Nobis & P.D.Gudkova"}},"i":23}},"\n*''[[Stipa barbata]]'' Desf.\n*''[[Stipa barrancaensis]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"F.A.Roig"}},"i":24}},"\n*''[[Stipa basiplumosa]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Munro ex Hook.f."}},"i":25}},"\n*''[[Stipa bavarica]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Martinovský & H.Scholz"}},"i":26}},"\n*''[[Stipa baxoiensis]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Yue Zhang & W.L.Chen"}},"i":27}},"\n*''[[Stipa borysthenica]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Klokov ex Prokudin"}},"i":28}},"\n*''[[Stipa brachyptera]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Klokov"}},"i":29}},"\n*''[[Stipa × brevicallosa]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"M.Nobis"}},"i":30}},"\n*''[[Stipa breviflora]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Griseb."}},"i":31}},"\n*''[[Stipa breviseta]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Caro & E.A.Sánchez"}},"i":32}},"\n*''[[Stipa × brozhiana]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"M.Nobis"}},"i":33}},"\n*''[[Stipa bungeana]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Trin."}},"i":34}},"\n*''[[Stipa capillacea]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Keng"}},"i":35}},"\n*''[[Stipa capillata]]'' L.\n*''[[Stipa caucasica]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Schmalh."}},"i":36}},"\n*''[[Stipa × consanguinea]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Trin. & Rupr."}},"i":37}},"\n*''[[Stipa cretacea]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"P.A.Smirn."}},"i":38}},"\n*''[[Stipa × czerepanovii]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Kotukhov"}},"i":39}},"\n*''[[Stipa daghestanica]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Grossh."}},"i":40}},"\n*''[[Stipa dasyphylla]]'' ",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"small","href":"./Template:Small"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"(Lindem.)
