VIII. Subfamily Panicoideae Link (1827)

  • Chapter
Flowering Plants. Monocots

Part of the book series: The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants ((FAMILIES GENERA,volume 13))

Abstract

Plants annual or perennial, caespitose, rhizomatous or stoloniferous; monoecious, dioecious, andromonoecious or bisexual. Culms often branching. Leaf blade with or without pseudopetioles; ligule membranous, a fringed membrane, or a fringe of hairs. Inflorescences unbranched, or with the primary branches unbranched, or the primary branches themselves branched to form higher-order branches; branch complexes sometimes present in the axils of upper culm leaves. Spikelets laterally or dorsiventrally compressed, disarticulating above or below the glumes. Glumes two, membranous, hyaline or indurate, with or without awns. Lemmas and paleas membranous, hyaline or indurate, with or without awns. Paleas with 0 to 2 keels. Lodicules 2, fleshy. Stamens 3, stigmas 2. Caryopsis with hilum punctate. Embryo with a long mesocotyl, with a scutellar cleft and with the embryonic leaf margins overlapping; epiblast present, but lost in Panicoideae s.s. Stomatal subsidiary cells triangular or domed (a plesiomorphy for the family); microhair apical cells generally much longer than wide (“the panicoid type”), but this character variable. Midribs simple or complex. Ancestrally C3.
