A" (Dorr 2014: 221). Comments. This taxon was first noted as " Calamagrostis chaseae auct., non Luces" by Dorr et al. (2000 [2001]: 56) and subsequently called " Calamagrostis sp. A" in the Flora of Guaramacal (Venezuela): Monocotyledons ( Dorr 2014 ) but its identity remains ambiguous and needs further study. The species habit is noted as stoloniferous, a habit not known from Calamagrostis or Deschampsia , which are tufted or very-short rhizomatous and tussock-forming. The mention of short spikelets (3-4.4 mm long), florets (appearing to) almost reach or equal the length of the glumes and 1-veined upper glumes in the brief description by Dorr (2014 : 221) makes it possible that this taxon belongs to Podagrostis or Agrostis , although mention of a puberulent callus and presence of a fairly long awn (3.5-6 mm long) makes it less likely that this species is a Podagrostis .
