Lorenzochloa erectifolia is a species of perennial flowering plant in the grass family. The species is native to Colombia,[2] Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela.[1]
The genus name Lorenzochloa is in honour of Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi (1895–1966), who was an Argentinian botanist and agricultural engineer, professor of botany in Buenos Aires and La Plata with a focus on South American grasses.[3]
The species was first described as Muhlenbergia erectifolia by Jason Richard Swallen in 1931.[1] It was later placed in the genus Ortachne as Ortachne erectifolia,[4] until phylogenetic analysis.[5]
