Abstract
The genus Tribolium Desv. comprises twelve species and is endemic to S outh Africa. The genus was formerly divided into two genera, i.e. Lasi ochloa Kunth and Plagiochloa Adamson & Sprague. These genera are morph ologically very similar. Three sections are identified within Triboliu m, based on morphology, cladistics and principal component analysis. T he proposed sections are Tribolium, Acutiflorae and Uniolae, each cont aining four species.
