Coleataenia is a genus of grasses in the tribe Paniceae of the family Poaceae. Until recently this genus was part of Panicum . In 2010, Zuloaga, Scataglini, & Morrone proposed the transfer of the Panicum sections Agrostoidea and Tenera to the new genus, Sorengia. [1] However, that same year, because one of the new species' synonyms was in the valid genus Coleataenia, Robert J. Soreng determined that Sorengia was not a valid name for the new genus and re-published it as Coleataenia. [2] [3]
