Cleistogenes
# Cleistogenes

Cleistogenes is a genus of Eurasian flowering plants in the grass family.

The name Cleistogenes was for a time considered an invalidly published name synonymous with Kengia, but revisions to the Code of Nomenclature have reversed this situation. Cleistogenes is now the correct name.
