Type species : Trichloris pluriflora Fourn. 



Trichloris Fourn., Mex. PI. 2: 142. 1886. Fournier includes two specie: 

 T. fasciculata and T. pluriflora, both described as new. In the generic descrij 



FIG. 112. Chloris viryata. Plant X \ ; glumes and floret with rudiment, X i 



tion occurs the statement " flore summo tabescente mutico." Under the secon 

 species one finds " flore summo mutico." From this it would appear tha 

 T. pluriflora represented Fournier's idea of the genus; hence this species i 

 selected as the type.
