Anatherum
Anatherum is a genus of grasses. It includes 51 species native to temperate and tropical North America, tropical South America, and sub-Saharan Africa.
The genus was first described by Palisot de Beauvois in 1812. Later authorities synonymized the genus with Andropogon. Phylogenetic studies revealed Andropogon to be polyphyletic, and Vorontsova et al. revived and re-circumscribed Anatherum in 2023.
