Species of grass
Festuca floribunda is a species of flowering plant in the grass family Poaceae, native to western South America (Bolivia, Peru, northwestern Argentina and northern Chile).[1] When placed in the monotypic genus Dielsiochloa as Dielsiochloa floribunda, it was the only species.[2]
Taxonomy
The species was first described by Robert K. F. Pilger in 1906 as Trisetum floribundum.[3] It was transferred to the monotypic genus Dielsiochloa in 1943,[1] where it was the only species.[2] Molecular phylogenetic studies from 2007 onwards showed that the species was deeply embedded within a group of species of Festuca native to northern South America, being most closely related to Festuca cuzcoensis, and in 2018, it was transferred to the genus Festuca.[4]
