Abstract

The presence of Bothriochloa Kuntze is reported for the first time for Santa Catarina Island where there are two native taxa: B. laguroides (DC.) Herter var. laguroides and B. exaristata (Nash) Henrard. Both occur mostly in urban areas, such as parking lots, the margins of paths, and lawns. Bothriochloa laguroides var. laguroides often has a semi-decumbent habit with leaves that are concentrated at the base of the plant and sessile spikelets with awns and upper lemma. B. exaristata has a caespitose-erect or semi-decumbent habit with longer narrower leaves on the stem and sessile spikelets that are muticous and lack upper lemma. Descriptions, illustrations, ecological comments and distribution are provided for each taxon.
