**2. Materials and methods**

A database of the species of the endemic grasses of continental and insular Chile was con‐ structed based on the databases of two Chilean herbaria: CONC (Herbarium of the University of Concepcion) and SGO (Herbarium of the National Museum of Natural History, Santiago). Specimens deposited in these herbaria and those collected for this project were studied. Data were supplemented with specimens cited in previous publications [4–8]. For each species, we include taxonomic data (scientific accepted names, synonyms, common names, and types of accepted names), life cycle, flowering period, distribution, conservation status, bibliographic references, and representative specimens.
