Abstract

Digitaria killeenii A. S. Vega et Rúgolo, a new species from Bolivia, is described and illustrated. Additional micromorphological characters in the spikelets are also described. The presence of an apical, abaxial pair of stomata on the upper lemma and the presence of occasional brownish hairs on the lower palea constitute the first report in the genus Digitaria. The taxonomic position of D. killeenii is discussed and its inclusion in section Clavipilae (Stapf) Henrard is proposed. A comparative table and some remarks about the related taxa are included.
