Abstract: | Based on multivariate analyses, a new dioecious species of Poa from the Puneña and Altoandina phytogeographical provinces of Argentina is described. This species is most similar to Poa calchaquiensis of Poa section Dioicopoa . The ligule length, plant size, and glabrous pistillate anthoecia distinguish Poa nubensis . A key for identification and illustrations are also included. © 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2008, 157 , 239–248. |
