Abstract
- On the basis of morphological examination, field investigation, observation of cultivated accessions and statistical analysis, the genus Miscanthus s.l. (Poaceae) from China was taxonomically revised. Two subgenera ( Miscanthus subgenus Miscanthus and Miscanthus subgenus Diandranthus), two sections [ Miscanthus subgenus Miscanthus section Miscanthus and Miscanthus subgenus Miscanthus section Triarrhena (Maximowicz) Honda], six species, two subspecies and four varieties in this genus were recognized in this report. Miscanthus sacchariflorus ssp. lutarioriparius and Miscanthus nudipes var. yunnanensis were also recognized. A key to the taxa of Miscanthus from China is provided. A morphological description, distribution, and habit and phenology are summarized for each species. Distribution maps and morphological illustrations of each species are also provided. © 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 164, 178-220.
