<i>Deyeuxia sorengii</i> sp. nov. (Poaceae, Agrostidinae) from the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

Abstract

Deyeuxia sorengii B. Paszko &amp; W. L. Chen, a new species of Deyeuxia from the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to D. zangxiensis P. C. Kuo &amp; S. L. Lu, but differs from it by having a well‐developed and conspicuously hairy rachilla prolongation and a straight awn. Deyeuxia sorengii occurs in alpine meadows of central Xizang and central Qinghai. The first records of Deyeuxia zangxiensis are reported from western and eastern Xinjiang and northeastern Qinghai (China).
