Title: Studies on the <i>Festuca ovina</i> complex in the Canadian Cordillera
Abstract: Seven native taxa of the Festuca ovina complex are recognized for the Canadian Cordillera. Pseudoviviparous material from this region is different from F. vivipara (L.) Sm., and F. vivipara subsp. glabra Frederiksen is raised to the status of species, F. viviparoidea Krajina ex Pavlick. A new name, Festuca viviparoidea subsp. krajinae Pavlick, is proposed for the Canadian Cordillera plants. A new variety from British Columbia, Festuca saximontana Rydb. var. robertsiana Pavlick is described. The other taxa treated are F. saximontana Rydb. var. saximontana; F. saximontana var. purpusiana Frederiksen & Pavlick; F. brachyphylla Schult. & Schult.; F. baffinensis Polun.; and F. minutiflora Rydb., a species rarely collected in Canada. Distributions are given.
