Abstract

This paper is the first of a series concerned with
the revision of the genus Stipa in Tasmania.
Criteria allowing a new approach to identification
at the specific level, both in the herbarium and in
the field, are described by means of a detailed study
of patterns of hook and hair ornamentations
found on the adaxial surface of leaf blades. Nine
ornamentation patterns are illustrated in conjunction
with their associated spikelet forms. Stipa
pubescens R.Br. var aphylla Rodway is raised to
specific rank and an amended descriptions is presented.
