Stipagrostis hirtigluma (Afrikaans: bloutwa) is a densely tufted perennial grass. It occurs across most of Africa east to Pakistan in bushveld, karoo, and desert regions. In Namibia, it grows in dry, warm parts, in stony or sandy places and on rocky outcrops.
There are three subspecies of Stipagrostis hirtigluma:

Stipagrostis hirtigluma subsp. hirtigluma (Steud. ex Trin. & Rupr.) De Winter – most of Africa through Middle East to South Asia (Pakistan)
Stipagrostis hirtigluma subsp. patula (Hack.) De Winter – southern Africa, from Angola to Mozambique and south
Stipagrostis hirtigluma var. pearsonii (Henrard) De Winter – Angola and Namibia
Stipa hirtigluma subsp. hirtigluma and S. h. subsp. pearsonii display many similarities.
