Abstract: We analyzed the main character differences among nearest related Orinus tibeticus, O.thoroldii and O.anomala in the genus Orinus by morphological observation and anatomical analysis of leaf epidermises. There was very slight disparity between O.tibeticus and O.thoroldii in external morphology, and classifying two species was difficult. The differences between O.tibeticus and O.anomala were distinct, and two taxa were two different species. Anatomically, the most features of O.tibeticus were consistent with or similar to that of O.thoroldii, while for O.anomala, the discontinuity of characters between them was obviously present. Therefore, O.tibeticus and O.thoroldii should belong to the same species, and O.tibeticus can be reduced to synonymy of O.thoroldii.

Key words: Poaceae, Orinus, Orinus tibeticus, morphological character, morphology of leaf epidermis
