Jarava is a genus in the subfamily Pooideae of the grass family Poaceae. [1] [2] It is native to Central and South America. [3]
Stipa is a genus of around 300 large perennial hermaphroditic grasses collectively known as feather grass, needle grass, and spear grass. They are placed in the subfamily Pooideae and the tribe Stipeae, which also contains many species formerly assigned to Stipa, which have since been reclassified into new genera.
The Passifloraceae are a family of flowering plants, containing about 750 species classified in around 27 genera.
Poa is a genus of about 570 species of grasses, native to the temperate regions of both hemispheres. Common names include meadow-grass, bluegrass, tussock, and speargrass. Poa is Greek for 'fodder'. Poa are members of the subfamily Pooideae of the family Poaceae.
The Pooideae are the largest subfamily of the grass family Poaceae, with about 4,000 species in 15 tribes and roughly 200 genera. They include some major cereals such as wheat, barley, oat, rye and many lawn and pasture grasses. They are often referred to as cool-season grasses, because they are distributed in temperate climates. All of them use the C3 photosynthetic pathway.
Azara is a genus of eleven species of flowering plants in the family Salicaceae. They are native to temperate to subtropical regions of South America, from southern Brazil and Bolivia to southern Argentina and Chile. They are most often found at woodland margins and lakesides. Azara was formerly classed in the family Flacourtiaceae.
Achnatherum is a genus of flowering plants in the grass family, Poaceae. It includes 20 species of needlegrass native to temperate Eurasia and North Africa. Several needlegrass species have been switched between Achnatherum and genus Stipa; taxonomy between the two closely related genera is still uncertain. In 2019 Peterson et al. reorganized the genera in tribe Stipeae based on molecular DNA studies, and placed the species from the Americas into other genera.
Ampelodesmos is a genus of Mediterranean plants in the grass family, which is known by the common names stramma, Mauritania grass, rope grass, and dis(s) grass. It is classified in its own tribe Ampelodesmeae within the grass subfamily Pooideae.
Heteranthera is a genus of aquatic plants in the water hyacinth family, Pontederiaceae, known generally as mud plantains. Species of this genus are native to tropical and subtropical America and Africa. They live in the water or in wet soils. They produce leaves on long petioles and some are cultivated for their attractive flowers. Leaves are of two types - linear and submerged or orbicular and floating. Some species have cleistogamic flowers.
Porlieria is a genus of flowering plants in the caltrop family, Zygophyllaceae. Species within this genus are shrubs or small trees of dry subtropical regions. The generic name honours Spanish ambassador Don Antonio Porlier de Baxamar.
Peyritschia is a genus of Latin American plants in the grass family.
Piptochaetium, or speargrass, is a genus of plants in the grass family, native to North and South America. Piptochaetium is a bunchgrass genus in the tribe Stipeae.
Festuca floribunda is a species of flowering plant in the grass family Poaceae, native to western South America. When placed in the monotypic genus Dielsiochloa as Dielsiochloa floribunda, it was the only species.
Ptilagrostis is a genus of grasses in the family Poaceae. They are distributed in Asia and North America. They are known commonly as false needlegrasses.
Jarava ichu, commonly known as Peruvian feathergrass, ichhu, paja brava, paja ichu, or simply ichu, is a grass species in the family Poaceae native to the Americas. It is found growing in a vast area: Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Dominican Republic, Chile, and Argentina. It is a common grass of the Andean altiplano. It is used as fodder for livestock.
The Stipeae are a tribe of grasses within the subfamily Pooidae, with up to 600 described species.
Clarisia is a genus of trees in the family Moraceae, native to North and South America, ranging from Mexico to Bolivia.
Patis is a genus of grasses in the Stipeae tribe of the grass family, found in China, Korea, Japan, eastern Canada, and north central and eastern United States.
Jarava pseudoichu is a species of grass in the family Poaceae, disjunctly distributed in Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia and Argentina. As its synonym Stipa pseudoichu it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit as an ornamental.
Bromus lepidus, the slender soft brome, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae. It has a disjunct distribution, native to central and northern Europe, and Xinjiang in China, and introduced to an assortment of other locales, including some northeast states of the United States, the Canary Islands, and Egypt. The taxonomic history of this species has been marked by nomenclatural issues.
