The taxonomy of Festuca species is based on morphology, histology and cytology. The identification and classification of the species is still not unambigous, due to the strong environmental dependence of these taxonomic traits. The objectives of the present analysis were to gain new data and to answer the questions raised bytraditional taxonomy based on the molecular comparison of genomic DNA. The 8 species of the F. ovina group were classified into three well-separable groups on the basis of cluster and MDS analysis of the data obtained by RAPD and AP-PCR analysis of 114 samples (corresponding to 14 items). It has been proved that the sub-Mediterranean tetraploid F.pallens (4x) differs genetically from the subalpine diploid F.pallens (2x), which may modify the present classification.
