Flower/Fruit: Fl. & Fr. Per.: July-September.
Type: Type locality: Sibiria.
Distribution: Distribution: Pakistan (N.W.F.P., Gilgit & Kashmir); from the Caucasus eastwards through Afghanistan, southern USSR and the Himalayas to China, Mongolia and Japan.
Comment/Acknowledgements: A widespread species between 1200 and 2500 m which has a reputation for being poisonous to stock. However, its toxicity is not so severe that cattle, sheep and goats cannot learn to avoid it before coming to too much harm.

The type specimen of S. subeffusa Ohwi (in Acta phytotax. geobot., Kyoto 17:15. 1957) has not been seen, but judging from its description it does not seem to differ in any substantial way from Stipa sibirica.
