Type species: Trichloris pluriflora Fourn. 
Trichloris Fourn., Mex. Pl. 2: 142. 1886. Fournier includes two species, 
Lf. fasciculata and T. pluriflora, both described as new. In the generic descrip- 
Fig. 112.—Ohloris virgata. Plant X 24; glumes and fioret with rudiment, x 5. 
tion occurs the statement “ flore summo tabescente mutico.” Under the second 
species one finds “flore summo mutico.” 
. From this it would appear that 
T. plurijflora represented Fournier’s idea of the genus; hence this species is 
selected as the type.
