26a. Andropogon Virginicus var. graciliformis Léon, in Britton, Bull. 
Torrey Bot. Club 53: 457. 1926. Cuba, Léon 11343. 
Culms slender, usually less than 50 cm tall; basal sheaths not 
compressed-keeled ; blades, especially of the innovations, very slender, 
folded, becoming flat and flexuous with age, usually not more than 
1 to 2 mm wide when flat; spathes few. Distinguished from the 
species by the more delicate culms, terete rather than compressed 
sheaths, more slender blades, and fewer pairs of racemes. 
Sandy savannas, Cuba.

27. Andropogon reinoldii Léon, Mem. Soc. Cub. Hist. Nat. Poey 5. 
1922. Cuba, Léon 9932. 
Culms tufted, erect, 50 to 80 cm tall; sheaths glabrous, the basal 
ones somewhat compressed but not so strongly as in A. virginicus; 
ligule visible from the side view of the sheath, about 1 mm long; 
blades flat or, especially at the base, folded, glabrous, somewhat 
scabrous, 10 to 35 cm long, 2.5 to 5 mm wide; racemes in pairs, the 
pairs several along the upper part of the culm; racemes 2 to 4 cm 
long, villous but the spikelets not hidden by the hairs, the peduncle 
enclosed in the spathe, 3 to 5 cm long, the racemes partly enclosed in 
the spathe or barely exserted; sessile spikelet 3 mm long, the awn 
nearly straight, about 7 or 8 mm long; pedicellate spikelet wanting 
or nearly so. Differs from A. virginicus in the long peduncles, the 
smaller spikelets, and the less compressed basal sheaths. 
Gravelly soil and pastures, open slopes, Cuba.
