Resumen de Agrostologicae Novitates, II. Parodiolyra aratitiyopensis , New South Herbaceous Bamboo in the Venezuelan Guayana
Parodiolyra aratitiyopensis JR Grande (Poaceae, Bambusoideae Olyreae, Olyrineae) is described and Illustrated with material from Hill Aratitiyope, in the southern part of Amazonas, Venezuela. This new taxon Can Be Distinguished from P. luetzelburgii (Pilg.) Soderstr. & Zuloaga, the most similar species, the search by ITS smaller habit, smaller and linear-lanceolata leaf blades with the Rounded or truncate base and scabrous margins (vs. fimbriate margins), smaller inflorescences thatâ are scabrous only at the nodes, female spikelets with hair to 1 mm long through the middle of the glume, and linear-fusiform male spikelets. The key to differentiate the six species of the genus Parodiolyra Soderstr. & Zuloaga Presently understood is Included, and a discussion of theire possibl relationship based on morphological characters is similarly offered.
