Two species, T. aureum and T. Jlavescens, are introduced. Trisetum florihundum Pilg. is chosen as a lectotype for Trisetum sect. Aulacoa Louis-Marie. The genus Graphephorum comprises only two species: G. melicoides ranging from Canada to the United States and G. wo!/ii endemic to the United States. RESUMEN
