A recent herbarium study of the genus Aristida (Poaceae) revealed that 11 species and four varieties are represented in Kansas. Specimen evidence is presented for two species, A. desmantha Trin. & Rupr. and A. ramosissima Engelm ex A. Gray, reported by earlier Kansas botanists but subsequently excluded from the flora because no vouchers could be located. Keys, habitat and state rarity information, and distribution maps are presented for all Kansas taxa.
