Contributions from the United States National Herbarium . ora Steud., a nom. nud., asbelonging to F andicola. Examination of the voucherof F dissitiflora housed at US {W. Lechler 1829,US-2875397 fragm. ex GOET!) confirms that thisspecies has nothing to do with F andicola and thatit is a synonym of F rigescens (J. Presl) Kunth. His-torically, the name F andicola had been applied toa heterogeneous group, and this group was dividedinto two species by Stancik (2003) where a new typeand name, F soukupii, were designated. Festucaandicola and F. soukupii are morphologically similarto the Venezuelan species, F elviae, and the PeruvianF. tenuiculmis Tovar. Festuca tenuiculmis differsfrom the rest of the group by having ramified, openedpanicles. Festuca andicola differs from the othersby having solitary culms with rhizomes, whereasF soukupii is caespitose forming small bunches. Distribution and habitat.— Festuca andicolaranges from southern Ecuador to northern Colom-bia. Tovar (1972) mentions F. andicola as being 56 Festuca in South American Paramos. 2 mm Figure 24.

Festuca in South American Paramos 57 present in Peru but no Peruvian specimens werefound during preparation of this revision. It occursin swamps and margins of streams in the grassparamo zone and Andean mountain forests between2900-3800(-4000) m. This species is associated, inaddition to many others, with communities of theorder Marchantio-Epilobietalia (Cleef 1981). Additional specimens examined. : Mun.
