Stipa capensis, the Mediterranean needle-grass,[1] cape rice grass, Mediterranean steppegrass or twisted-awned speargrass, is an annual grass from family Poaceae.[2]
It is normally found in the Persian Gulf desert ad semi-desert biome.[3] In Persian it is called bahman and is probably the same plant which was used in the Persian festivity of bahmanagān.
