Abstract
A comprehensive world classification of the Poaceae is presented in which 720 currently accepted genera
are distributed among five subfamilies (Pooideae, Bambusoideae, Arundinoideae, Chloridoideae,
Panicoideae) and six supertribes (Triticanae and Poanae, in Pooideae; Bambusanae and Oryzanae, in
Bambusoideae; Panicanae and Andropogonanae, in Panicoideae). Synonyms in recent use are listed
under appropriate groups. The classification reflects a variety of numerical analyses of generic
descriptions, accounting for original observations and compiled data on nearly 300 characters
concerning mainly morphology, anatomy, physiology and cytology. The detailed group descriptions are
fully comparative, and include statistical information on character state distributions.
