|discussion=<p><i>Setaria </i>subg.<i> Paurochaetium</i>, as treated by Fox and Hatch (1999), includes seven taxa and extends from southern Florida through the West Indies into the Yucatan region of Mexico and Belize. One species, <i>S. chapmanii</i>, grows in the Flora region.</p><!--
--><p><i>Setaria </i>subg.<i> Paurochaetium</i> usually differs from subg. Reverchoniae in its 2-ranked and smaller spikelets and in the absence of a palea in the lower floret. Unfortunately, <i>S. chapmanii</i>, the only representative of subg. Paurochaetium in the Flora region, is exceptional within the subgenus in lacking a lower palea.</p>
