Common Names: ― California brome (English); basicuaáre, bromo de California, masiyague, pipillo (Spanish).
Comments: ― Bromus carinatus is used as fodder in México (Saulés & Dávila Aranda 1992). Bromus carinatus seeds are used to make tejino or tesgüino, and when there is shortage of food they are apparently used as corn (Saulés & Dávila Aranda 1992). Tejino is "… a thick, milky, nutritious brew made from corn fermented with a local grass seed (basiáhuari)" (Kennedy 1963).
Variation in the Bromus carinatus complex in North America— Bromus sect. Ceratochloa comprises the hexaploid (6x) B. catharticus complex native to South America, the octoploid (8x) B. carinatus complex native to North America, the North American duodecaploid (10x) B. arizonicus (Stebbins 1981), and recently discovered duodecaploid taxa from South America similar in morphology to B. ayacuchensis Saarela & P.M. Peterson in Saarela et al. (2006: 919), for which the chromosome number is unknown (Williams et al. 2011). There is extensive morphological variation within each of the hexaploid and octoploid complexes, which has led to multiple, often-conflicting taxonomic treatments for each. Recent genetical and morphological study of the B. catharticus complex supported recognition of two polymorphic species (Massa et al. 2001, 2004). Similar revisionary work is necessary to better characterize morphological and molecular variation in the B. carinatus complex throughout its natural range.
The B. carinatus complex ranges throughout much of western North America, from Alaska to Central America. It has been introduced elsewhere, including Europe (Verloove 2012), China (Liu et al. 2006) and New Zealand (Stewart 1996). It comprises primarily cleistogamous plants and is extremely variable. Multiple taxa have been described in it on the basis of such characters as duration (i.e., annual, perennial, biennial), pubescence of the leaves and spikelets, blade width, panicle size and awn length (Hitchcock et al. 1969). In the early part of the twentieth century, multiple narrowly circumscribed taxa were generally recognized in western North America north of México (Piper 1906, Jepson 1912, Millspaugh & Nuttall 1923, Tidestrom 1925, Hitchcock 1951), whereas
ATAXONOMIC REVISION OF BROMUS (POACEAE)
Phytotaxa 185 (1) © 2014 Magnolia Press 37 in more recent decades most authors have tended to recognize fewer taxa, often including much of the variation in a single species, B. carinatus, usually with infraspecific taxa (Hitchcock et al. 1969, Stebbins 1981, Jones et al. 1997, Pavlick & Anderton 2007). Pavlick (1995), however, recognized six taxa in North America north of México, distinguished primarily by differences in the vestiture of leaf sheaths and blades and panicle size: B. sitchensis Trin. in Bongard (1832: 173), B. aleutensis Trin. ex Griseb. in Ledebour (1852: 361), B. maritimus (Piper 1905: 148) Hitchc. in Jepson (1912: 177), B. carinatus (including vars. carinatus and marginatus), B. polyanthus Scribner ex Shear (1900: 56) and B. subvelutinus Shear (1900: 52). Pavlick & Anderton (2007) recognized the same taxa in the Flora of North America, except B. subvelutinus was included in B. carinatus var. carinatus.
Numerous authors have commented on the extensive morphological variation in the complex, and have noted that there is considerable intergradation among taxa throughout the range of the complex (Shear 1900, Hitchcock 1951, Hitchcock et al. 1969, Pavlick 1995). Given the variation and difficulties in delimiting taxa in the B. carinatus complex, Stebbins (1981) suggested that all taxa be treated as a single species. No treatment so far has taken this approach. An AFLP study of B. carinatus s.l., based on 30 accessions collected throughout western North America, identified four major genetic lineages and five unique accessions, but the authors did not comment on morphological variation within the major lineages, or whether or not the lineages correspond to previouslyrecognized taxa in the complex (Massa & Larson 2005). Barkworth et al. (2006) studied morphological and geographical variation in B. carinatus s.s., B. marginatus and B. polyanthus. Their results supported recognition of B. carinatus with two varieties, and B. polyanthus. Barkworth et al. (2006) considered Massa & Larson's (2005) molecular results for the complex and noted that, upon examination of the voucher specimens used in the AFLP study, the three accessions in Massa & Larson's (2005) "group 4" are B. polyanthus, while the others are B. marginatus (= B. carinatus var. marginatus).
Several taxa in the complex were described from México in the 19 th century, including B. pendulinus, B. hookeri var. schaffneri, B. hookeri var. schlechtendalii and B. laciniatus. Shear (1900) recognized B. laciniatus in México, whereas Hitchcock (1913) recognized two species: B. carinatus, from Baja California, and B. pendulinus (syn. B. laciniatus), distributed throughout México. Hitchcock later recognized the taxon in Central America and México as B. laciniatus, realizing that the name he used earlier, B. pendulinus Sessé, is a later homonym of B. pendulinus Schrad. (Hitchcock 1930, 1935, 1951). Other authors also recognized Central American plants as B. laciniatus (Standley 1937, Swallen & McClure 1955). It is not clear in any of these treatments how to distinguish B. laciniatus from plants of the B. carinatus complex from north of Mexico. Johnston (1943) treated plants in the group from Coahuila as B. schaffneri and Bromus sp. (two unnamed taxa). Soderstrom & Beaman (1968) considered B. laciniatus to be a synonym of B. carinatus, a treatment followed by subsequent workers (Beetle 1977, Pohl 1980, Gould & Moran 1981, McVaugh 1983, Pohl & Davidse 1994, Espejo-Serna et al. 2000, Morales 2003, Pavlick et al. 2003). Soderstrom & Beaman (1968) included B. arizonicus in their concept of B. carinatus, a view with which we do not agree (also see Stebbins 1981). We recognize all plants in México and Central America as B. carinatus, maintaining current usage of the name (Pavlick & Anderton 2007, Saarela & Peterson 2012). Within B. carinatus we recognize two varieties, distinguished by awn length, as in Barkworth et al. (2006) and Pavlick & Anderton (2007). Not all of the specimens examined for this study were determined to variety; those determined only to species are listed below as B. carinatus s.l.
Although B. carinatus is the most widely-used name in the complex, the little-used name B. luzonensis Presl (1830: 262) has priority for plants currently treated under this name. Bromus luzonensis was described from a collection made by Haenke that was reported to have come from Luzon, Philippines. Veldkamp (1990) pointed out that there are no Bromus species in the Malesian lowlands, and that the specimen matches B. breviaristatus (= B. carinatus var. marginatus) from western North America. He suggested there was a labelling error on the specimen, as Merrill (1922) noted earlier, and that the specimen came from either British Columbia or California, where Haenke collected (Sterling 1997). Bromus luzonensis has not been included in most treatments of Bromus in the United States (see Table 1 in Barkworth et al. 2006), probably because it was thought to represent a non-American species. Pavlick (1995) recognized B. luzonensis as a synonym of his resurrected B. subvelutinus (even though B. luzonensis is an earlier name), a species that most later authors, including Pavlick & Anderton (2007), have included in B. carinatus. If B. luzonensis and B. carinatus s.l. are considered to be the same species, the correct name for the species is B. luzonensis.
Given the current circumscription of taxa in the complex, there are two options for resolving this nomenclatural problem: the species could be recognized as B. luzonensis, which would require new combinations

for all infraspecific taxa in the group, or conservation of the widely-used and familiar name B. carinatus against B. luzonensis could be argued for. We feel it is premature to argue for conservation pending a more detailed study of variation and species boundaries in the entire B. carinatus complex, and particularly resolution of the status of B. sitchensis. If addititional data support recognition of a single species in the B. carinatus complex, the correct name for the species would be B. sitchensis —the oldest name in the complex. Boivin (1967) took this approach in his list of Canadian plants, at least in part, as he treated B. marginatus as variety of B. sitchensis. If B. sitchensis (type from Sitka, Alaska, representing a form with large, open panicles with long branches) is supported as a distinct species, as recognized in current treatments, the next oldest available name is B. luzonensis.
Morphological variation in Bromus carinatus in México and Central America — Panicle size in B. carinatus varies dramatically throughout the region, ranging from narrow with very short and almost non-existent ascendingappressed branches, to large and open with branches up to 21 cm long. Most plants from Baja California have narrow panicles with short ascending-appressed branches, densely pubescent sheaths and blades and pubescent spikelets. Such plants correspond to the taxon described by Shear as B. subvelutinus, which was recognized by numerous earlier authors (sometimes as B. breviaristatus) and more recently by Pavlick (1995), but included in B. carinatus in more recent treatments (see Table 1 in Barkworth et al. 2006). Many plants from the Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre Oriental have glabrous sheaths and blades and lemmas that are glabrous across the back and short-pubescent along the margins, but there is considerable variation in each of these characters, which vary independently among collections. The following examples have the character states as listed above, unless otherwise mentioned: Sharp 44418 (GH) from Puebla and Molina R. & Montalvo 21822 (GH) from El Salvador have pubescent or short-pilose sheaths; several specimens have lemmas that are more or less evenly pubescent across the back (Marsh 1439, GH, from Coahuila; Rose & Painter 6750, GH, from Hidalgo; Kenoyer 2047, GH, from Guanajuato); Palmer 346 (GH) from Durango has pubescent lemmas and sheaths and blades pubescent along the margins; Palmer 171 (GH) from Durango has essentially glabrous lemmas and pilose sheaths; and Harvey 6380 (GH, MICH) from Sinaloa has glabrous lemmas.
Plants from the Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre Oriental generally have panicles with the longest lower branches including the spikelets ranging in length from (5–) 8–12 cm, but there are numerous collections from throughout the region with slightly to much longer branches, ranging from 12.5–21 cm long. Examples include: Pringle 13243 (GH) from México (branches 12.5 cm long), Harvey 8538 (MICH) from México (16 cm), Botteri 727 (GH) from México (19 cm), Nicolás & Arséne 270 (GH) from Puebla (21 cm), and Williams et al. 26394 (F) from Guatemala. LeSueur Mex-110 (GH) from Chihuahua has lower panicle branches up to 14.5 cm long, glabrous glumes and glabrous sheath collars. The latter two characters fit B. polyanthus, a taxon known from the adjacent U.S.A., but the panicle branches in this species are reported to be <10 cm long (Pavlick & Anderton 2007); we keep this specimen in B. carinatus. In Pavlick & Anderton (2007), plants with lower branches greater than 10 cm would key to B. sitchensis, a taxon distributed primarily along the coast from the Aleutian Island through British Columbia and to southern California, and characterized by its large, open panicles with lower panicle branches 10–20 cm long. Verloove (2012) has recently reviewed in detail the differences between B. carinatus and B. sitchensis reported in the literature. The boundaries between B. carinatus and B. sitchensis are unclear and are seemingly arbitrary given the variation in panicle size throughout the range of the B. carinatus complex (J.M. Saarela, personal observation). Plants with very large panicles are scattered throughout México and Central America, and we include these in B. carinatus.
