Summary:

Maclurolyra tecta, a new genus of grasses from Panama, is described. Features of its leaf anatomy and epidermis, seedlings, inflorescence morphology, floral structure, and cytology, indicate that it is a member of the tribe Olyreae of the subfamily Bambusoideae. A description is given of the bambusoid type of leaf anatomy, as well as comments on the vascular bundle sheaths in grasses, and chloroplast structure and photosynthetic pathways as new criteria in grass taxonomy. The phylogenetic position of Maclurolyra is discussed and a list of genera comprising the Bambusoideae is presented.
