Poaceae, Cyperaceae and Juncaceae Week: Poaceae- Stipa sibirica from Kashmir-pl. validate-GS107 :

Attachments (3). 3 posts by 2 authors.
Stipa sibirica (pl. validate) usually common on forest slopes in Kashmir.

Stipa has only one floret in the spikelet.
This has more than one. This is Festuca sp., most probably F.gigantea if the leaf base is biauriculate.

Thanks … for yet another correction.
