treatment for 14 species, hoping it will help clarify the taxonomy of Calanagrostis. However, more basic research is needed and future work will continue in order to improve understanding of the taxonomic position of the South American species. 4 II. MATERIALS AND METHODS A. Herbarium Studies Data obtained from herbarium specimens included morphological measurements, observations, and distributions reported by collectors, as well as common names that have been applied to the plants. Specialized collections were borrowed from various herbaria, cited according to Holmgren, Keuken, and Schofield (1981).
