In this study, relationships among 6 species of Festuca-Lolium complex were assessed using trnH-psbA sequences. Based on the results of this study Lolium is monophyletic. Also, a cluster including Lolium and Festuca subgen. Schedonorus and F. gigantea can be monophyletic. The results support transferring Festuca subgen. Schedonorus into the genus Lolium as a new combination that was proposed by Darbyshire. The trnH-psbA sequences support transfering Festuca gigantea from Festuca subgen. Drymenthele into Festuca subgen. Schedonorus sect. Plantynia. https://tbj.ui.ac.ir/article_17559_428d74cb86b632de7bd99fb05e86852f.pdf
