6. Stipa karakabinica Kotukhov(1994:105) View in CoL . Type citation:— Altaj Australis, jugum Tarbagatai, depressio Karakabinica, 1800 m s. m., moraenae clausae, declivitas substepposa cum Sibiraea altaiensis , 18 VIII 1986, Ju. Kotuchov (LE)

Type (original label):— Stipa karakabinica Kotuch. , (Sect. Leiostipa Dumort.), Yuzhnyi Altai, khr. Tarbagatai, Karakabinskaya vpadina, 1800 m. nad ur. m., zakrytye moreny, yugo-vost. ostepnennye sklony c Sibiraea altaiensis , 18 VIII 1986, Yu. Kotukhov (lectotype KRA 451780! designated here, isolectotypes KRA 436020!, KRA 436022!, KRA 436024!, KRA 436027!, KUZ! 4 sheets).

We were not able to find the type of this species at LE, thus we designate a lectotype selected from the original specimens from Kotukhov’s collection preserved in KRA.

Having awns 7–10 cm long, anthecia 9–11 mm long and internodes longer than culm sheaths ( Kotukhov 1994), Stipa karakabinica is very close to S. austroaltaica and S. capillata (see notes under S. austroaltaica ). This group of taxa requires taxonomic revision.
