Rediscovery of Bouteloua vaneedenii (Gramineae: Chloridoideae): endemic species from the West Indies
Bouteloua vaneedenii is an endemic and extremely rare grass of the West Indies. Very few collections are known, and the most recent collection is from 1922. With the aim of finding the species, a team of Mexican and Cuban agrostologists conducted a field trip and found B. vaneedenii in the same loca...

| description | Bouteloua vaneedenii is an endemic and extremely rare grass of the West Indies. Very few collections are
known, and the most recent collection is from 1922. With the aim of finding the species, a team of Mexican and Cuban
agrostologists conducted a field trip and found B. vaneedenii in the same locality where it was collected in 1922 on
dry limestone rocks. Although it was stated that B. vaneedenii probably was extinct from Cuba, vigorous populations
remain in at least 2 localities in Pastelillo. Further exploration may lead to the discovery of additional populations and
the reevaluation of its current conservation status. |
