Flora ofNew Mexico" of 1915. gave the first accounting on a state-wide basis of the F estuca in New Mexico. They reported a total of seven species of this genus, five of which were perennials (Table 1). Four taxa haYe been recognized consistently since that time: ari=onica. brach.lphy/la (with a fine-tuning of the infraspecific status). sororia. and tlmrberi. Taxa corresponding to idalwensis and saximontana were added by Tidestrom & Kittell ( 1941 ). Allred ( 199 3) brought the total to ten (including one ornamental). and this work culminates in a treatment of 14 perennial species found to grow in New Mexico. The classification and identification of Festuca species has changed considerably during the last 25 years by the use of micro-morphological features such as leaf anatomy. chromosome number, and pubescence of the ovary apex, as well as the more recent use of molecular information (e.g .• Aiken & Lefkovitch 1984; Aiken et al. 1997. 1998; Dube & Morrisett 1996; Fjellheim et al. 2001; Guldahl et al. 2001 ). Circumscription of taxa now largely depends on these newer features, though their recognition is assisted by the more easily observable characteristics ofleaf, panicle.
