Abstract

Previously unidentified specimens from Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela are recognized as a new species of Panicum. This species is described and illustrated exomorphologically and anatomically and is compared with the putative most closely related species in subgenus Panicum. Panicum aquarum has a peculiar inflorescence pattern, with prophyllar branching occurring in several parts of the inflorescence. Prophyllar branching has not been cited up to the present in the genus Panicum and is an uncommon feature of the Poaceae.
