| description | Transverse sections of mature flowering culms of Boutelouinae were analyzed to explore the usefulness of the culm anatomy to assess phylogenetic relationships. Fifty-five taxa were surveyed from the field and greenhouse collections. Although leaf anatomy in Boutelouinae has been shown to possess systematic utility, culm anatomy has been very little explored. In the Boutelouinae, only few traits of the culm middle internodal region with phylogenetic value, were found. Kranz structures (cells and radial chlorenchyma), number and position of the vascular bundles, and sclerenchyma girders are some culm anatomy characters that can be useful for inferring relationships at higher levels (family, tribes, genera). Culm anatomy suggests close relationships between B. eriopoda and B. eriostachya, and between B. ramosa and B. breviseta, and supports the inclusion of the satellite genera into Bouteloua. The Kranz structures and chloroplast shape appear to be the most variable features of this region of the culm. |

Se analizaron cortes transversales de la región media del tallo de 55 taxa de Boutelouinae, con el fin de explorar la utilidad de sus caracteres en el conocimiento de las relaciones filogenéticas del grupo. A pesar de que los caracteres anatómicos de hoja han mostrado ser útiles para inferir relaciones filogenéticas, el examen microscópico del culmo no revela la existencia de muchos rasgos informativos del aspecto evolutivo. Atributos como las estructuras Kranz, el número y posición de los haces vasculares y los anillos de esclerénquima pueden ser caracteres útiles para inferir relaciones filogenéticas a nivel de familia, tribu o género. La anatomía de tallo sugiere una estrecha relación entre B. eriopoda y B. eriostachya, así como entre B. ramosa y B. breviseta, además apoya la inclusión de los géneros satélites dentro de Bouteloua. Las estructuras Kranz y la forma de los cloroplastos parecen ser los caracteres mas variables de esta región del tallo.
