We present taxonomic notes on the    Festuca   caprina    complex from southern Africa that includes description and illustration of the new species    F.   drakensbergensis    from the Drakensberg Mountain Centre of Floristic Endemism of South Africa and Lesotho.    Festuca   drakensbergensis    can be differentiated from    F.   caprina    s.l. by forming lax short tufts with extravaginally-branching tillers and lateral-tending cataphyllous shoots or rhizomes present, basal foliage reaching &lt; ½ the length of the culms, with generally shorter leaves and shorter anthers, 0.8−1.6(−1.8) mm long. The species also differs from the overlooked species    F.   exaristata    – currently known from two collections from Lesotho − by its fibrous basal sheaths, usually sharp, keel-like leaf blade midrib, drooping panicle with lightly to densely scabrous pendent panicle branches, longer lemmas, 4.5−5.8 mm long, with awns usually present, 0.5–3 mm long, ovary apices sparsely to densely hairy and anthers 0.8−1.6(−1.8) mm long. Taxonomic notes on the different taxa of the    F.   caprina    complex in southern Africa are also provided, including images, key, and lectotypification of   F.   caprina   var.   curvula  . This research adds a further two endemic species (   F.   drakensbergensis    and    F.   exaristata   ) and two endemic varieties (  F.   caprina   var.   irrasa   and   F.   caprina   var.   macra  ) to the Drakensberg Mountain Centre of Floristic Endemism.
