Stipa comata var.
Stipa comata var. comata, needle and thread grass, co-dominates the grasslands around Medicine Rocks State Park, along with other native grasses such as Andropogon scoparius (little bluestem) and Koeleria macrantha (prairie Junegrass), but also the exotic Poa pratensis (Kentucky bluegrass).
