Abstract

A new distribution of Arthraxon prionodes (Steud.) Dandy is discovered in Korea. This species was collected from rocky mountain slopes on Daeyang-ri, Nami-myeon, Geumsan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do. Arthraxon prionodes is well distinguished from other species of the genus by its perennial habit, lower glume of sessile spikelet laterally 2-keeled with inflexed margins, and 3 stamens. Here, we provide detailed morphological description, taxonomic key to Korean Arthraxon species, voucher specimens and photographs of its habit.
