Stipagrostis hirtigluma, also known as bloutwa in Afrikaans, is a perennial grass that grows in densely tufted clusters. It can be found in various regions across Africa, extending to Pakistan, in areas such as bushveld, karoo, and deserts. In Namibia, it thrives in dry and warm environments, particularly in stony or sandy areas and on rocky outcrops. This species has three subspecies, with Stipa hirtigluma subsp. hirtigluma and S. h. subsp. pearsonii sharing many similarities.
