In addition, we provide a modern classification, glossary of terms, and indexes to scientific and common names. The key is based on vegetative characters to allow identification of specimens that do not have flowering structures (inflorescences and spikelets). Two new combinations are made, <em>Urochloa orthostachys</em> and <em>Urochloa stigmatisata</em>, and we lectotypify <em>Panicum orthostachys</em>.
