Danthonioideae

Danthonioideae. --The subfamily Danthonioideae has only been recognised as being separate from the Arundinoideae for a relatively short time (GPWG, 2001). A historical perspective on the subfamily (Linder & Barker 2005) shows how the composition of the subfamily has progressed from its early traditional admixture with the arundinoids to the recognition of a separate subfamily on phylogenetic principles based on molecular (Barker et al. 1995) and anatomical (Verboom et al.1994) data.

Bambusoideae

Bambusoideae. -- Much progress is being made in the understanding of bamboo phylogeny, largely due to the efforts of the BPG (Bamboo Phylogeny Group), a collaboration of 20 bamboo specialists from 11 countries, working on the first widely sampled data-rich phylogeny estimation for bamboos (Clark 2008; Kelchner & Clark 2008). Early phylogenetic study on the bamboos (Judziewicz et al., 1999) has them as being monophyletic, with two main lineages - herbaceous bamboos (Olyreae) and woody bamboos (Bambuseae).
