Paniceae Tribe of grasses

Paniceae is a large tribe of the subfamily Panicoideae in the grasses (Poaceae), the only in the monotypic supertribe Panicodae. It includes roughly 1,500 species in 84 genera, primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Paniceae includes species using either of the C4 and C3 photosynthetic pathways, as well as presumably intermediate species. Most of the millets are members of tribe Paniceae.

Zuloagocardamum jujuyensis is a very rare, dwarf species of caudiciform cress-like plant in the family Brassicaceae which was first described in 2014. It is endemic to mountains in Jujuy Province in northern Argentina, where it is only known to grow on the grounds of El Aguilar mine at 3,700 meters in altitude. It is only known from a single recent collection. It is the only species in the new genus Zuloagocardamum, a monotypic genus. It is quite similar in fruit and flower to Chilocardamum and Weberbauera, but the taxonomists describing the species decided it was sufficiently distinguished by dint of its well-developed, woody caudex, and extremely reduced, leafless branches bearing small rosulate tufts of linear leaves, and sticky, mucilaginous seeds.
