Taxonomic revision of Schizachyrium, Heteropogon, and Diectomis [Poaceae: Panicoideae: Andropogoneae] from India.
Project summary:
Schizachyrium Nees, Heteropogon Pers. and Diectomis Kunth, are the genera of the sub-tribe Andropogoninae, tribe Andropogoneae and subfamily Panicoideae under the family Poaceae represented by 64 and 6 species respectively (Soreng et al. 2017). In India, both of the genera (except Diectomis; a Monotypic genus) are widely distributed and represented by 6 species each, since taxonomical complexity remained persistent, no comprehensive revisionary work has been undertaken in India.
