Abstract

Chikusichloa mutica Keng, a native species of the Poaceae within Malesia and mainland China, was recently found at low elevations of northern Taiwan, providing a new record for this species and the genus for the flora of Taiwan. Chikusichloa Koidz. can be easily distinguished from the other five genera of the subfamily Oryzoideae by its bisexual spikelets, stipitate florets, and only one stamen per floret. Herein, the authors provide a line drawing, photographs, distribution map, and description of Chikusichloa mutica.
