Festuca in South American Paramos 117 adaxial epidermis with scattered hairs, the mm long. Observations.—Festuca imbaburensis ismorphologically similar to F glumosa but differsby having glabrous leaf blades (versus scabrous),narrower blades ( versus mm),shorter ligules ( versus mm), gla-brous rachillas (versus pilose), and shorter lemmas((-7) versus 7-8 mm). Distribution and habitat.— Festuca imbabu-rensis ranges from central Ecuador to southernColombia. It occurs in swampy patches associatedwith grass paramos and superparamos between3400-4200 m.
