Stipagrostis ciliata, also known as tall bushman grass, is a type of grass found in the Namib Desert and Kalahari regions of Namibia. It can grow up to 30-100 centimeters tall and can either be an annual or perennial plant depending on the amount of rainfall it receives. One of its distinguishing features is a ring of long white hair around each node.
