Enneapogon desvauxii P. Beauv.

This species is one of the most widespread in the genus and is the only one to develop cleistogamous spikelets within the basal leaf sheaths. Mature grains can often be found at the base of the plant.

Perennial. Culms densely tufted, wiry, usually geniculate at base, 5–35 cm tall, pubescent. Basal leaf sheaths tough, whitish, enclosing cleistogamous spikelets, finally becoming fibrous; leaf blades usually involute, filiform, 2–12 cm, 1–3 mm wide, densely pubescent or the abaxial surface with longer white soft hairs, finely acuminate. Panicle gray, dense, spikelike, linear to ovate, 1.5–5 × 0.6–1 cm. Spikelets with 3 florets, 5.5–7 mm; glumes pubescent, 3–9-veined, lower glume 3–3.5 mm, upper glume 4–5 mm; lowest lemma 1.5–2 mm, densely villous; awns 2–4 mm, subequal, ciliate in lower 2/3 of their length; third lemma 0.5–3 mm, reduced to a small tuft of awns. Anthers 0.3–0.6 mm. Fl. and fr. Aug–Nov. 2n = 36.

Enneapogon desvauxii is a species of grass known by the common name nineawn pappusgrass. This is a short perennial bunchgrass native to the southwestern United States, northern Mexico, parts of South America, and occurs throughout arid parts of Africa. It is known less often on other continents.

Pikkuhahtupää (Enneapogon desvauxii) on heinäkasvien (Poaceae) heimoon, hahtupäiden (Enneapogon) sukuun kuuluva monivuotinen kasvilaji. Se on kasvutavaltaan tiiviisti mätästävä ja kasvaa 5–35 cm korkeaksi. Sen lehtilavat ovat 2–12 cm pitkiä ja 1–3 mm leveitä. Pikkuhahtupään kukinto on harmaa ja tiivis, tähkää muistuttava röyhy. Tähkylät ovat 5,5–7 mm pitkiä ja kolmikukkaisia. Tähkylöiden kaleissa on kolmesta yhdeksään suonta. Ulkokaleet ovat 3–3,5 mm pitkiä ja sisäkaleet 4–5 mm pitkiä. Ulkohelpeet ovat 1,5–2 mm pitkiä sekä tiheäkarvaisia. Vihneet ovat 2–4 mm pitkiä. Pikkuhahtupää on sukunsa ainoa laji, joka lisääntyy itsepölytyksen kautta kleistogamisesti.

Pikkuhahtupää kasvaa kuivilla vuorenrinteillä 1000–1900 metrin korkeudella merenpinnan yläpuolella. Pikkuhahtupää on sukunsa laajimmalle levinnyt laji ja sitä tavataan Aasiassa, Afrikassa sekä Amerikoissa.
