Abstract
SummaryVan den Borre, A. & Watson, L.: The infrageneric classification of Eragrostis (Poaceae). – Taxon 43: 383‐422. 1994. – ISSN 0040‐0262.A world‐wide sample of 53 Eragrostis, 1 Diandrochloa and 2 Eragrostiella species was examined in terms of 442 newly recorded characters. These data were stored in the DELTA system and used for generating full natural language descriptions. A selection of morphological and anatomical characters (58 and 60, respectively) were analysed through a variety of phenetic and cladistic methods, revealing significant character correlations and intrageneric species relationships. The analyses are discussed in detail. A revised description of the genus Eragrostis is presented, and two subgenera are recognized, and fully described.
