In 2022, Shahid Nawaz (an agrostologist, The Blatter Herbarium (BLAT)) described an unusual species in the genus characterised by its dioecious breeding system, it was named as Ischaemum dioecum Landge & R.D. Shinde.[7] This species is endemic to a couple of locations in Western Ghats of Raigad district, Maharashtra, India.[7] The male and female plants are sexually separate individuals and occupy similar ecological niches.[7] This is the only dioecious species in the tribe Andropogoneae.[7]
