Abstract

GIRALDO-CANAS, DIEGO. Agrostological novelties for Colombia and Peru: Axonopus and Digitaria (Poaceae: Panicoideae). Caldasia [online]. 2013, vol.35, n.2, pp.299-309. ISSN 0366-5232.

As a result of recent studies on Neotropical grasses, a new species of Axonopus from Colombia is proposed and illustrated. Including the new species, the genus is now represented in Colombia by 19 species. Digitaria abyssinica (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) Stapf. is recorded for the first time to Peru, thus increasing to 18 the number of species of Digitaria known in the country.

Keywords : Axonopus; Digitaria; Flora of Colombia; Flora of Peru; Neotropical grasses; taxonomy.
