Specimens from

, Colombia, were noted to have the unusual character of glumes being readily caducous at maturity and falling before the floret, with mature inflorescences lacking glumes and only the florets remaining on the pedicels. It is not clear whether this may be a reaction to a pathogen or whether it is taxonomically informative since other specimens sometimes lack this character.

These should be disregarded as type material and reexamined. Apolliniaire s.n. K000308373 may be an isotype but the full collection date is missing to help clarify this.
