environment group 'KDE Plasma Workspaces'

I believe the KDE environment is installed on my up-to-date F20 machine,
but "yum group list" does not show it is installed. Suspecting it might
not be *completely* installed, I tried to install it and yum complained:
Warning: environment KDE Plasma Workspaces does not exist.
Is this merely personal confusion, or is something truly wrong? If an
environment group is installed, should it be listed as "Installed"? The
'GNOME Desktop' was installed as the default environment, but is not
listed as "Installed".
Because I think KDE Plasma Workspaces is installed, I expected some
output from yum to tell me there are no packages to install. I do see
this expected output from an explicit request to install 'GNOME desktop'.
