|discussion=<p><i>Agrostis tolucensis</i> grows in alpine meadows, usually in damp areas by lakes or streams. It is native from Mexico to Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina, growing in the Andes at 1800-4900 m. Its presence in the Flora region is dubious; two specimens in the S.M. Tracy herbarium, from Brewster and Brown counties in Texas, are listed in the Flora of Texas online database (http://www. csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/tracy/mainl.html). Attempts to locate the specimens in 2005 were unsuccessful, suggesting the records may have been based upon misidentifications which have since been rectified.</p>
