Abstract
The seeds of Nassella trichotoma (Nees)Hackel, a potentially noxious w eed of Argentinean origin, were studied and compared with those of Arg entinean representatives of the tribe Stipa (Stipa. Piptochaetium, Nas sella). It was found that the other species studied could be readily s eparated from N. trichotoma using the characteristics of the florets. A table summarizing the important features of each genus and a key for identifying N. trichotoma among the other Nassella species are presen ted.
