Hesperostipa is a genus of grasses in the family Poaceae. Members of the genus are commonly known as needle-and-thread grass or needlegrass.[2]
The Hesperostipa species, formerly called Stipa, are endemic to North America. The new name adds Template:Lang-grc-x-classic, as other Stipa species are found on the Eurasian continent (i.e., the eastern hemisphere).[3][4]
