Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Development of the concept of the subfamily Bambusoideae during the past three decades is briefly reviewed. Phylogeny, putative hybrid taxa, a new, simplified key to explicit identification, and the revision of the distribution range among the Japanese dwarf bamboos of genus <italic>Sasa</italic> and its close allies are discussed. Based on analyses of the random amplified polymorphic DNA and morphological data and of <italic>FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT)</italic> homologs, parsimonious trees resolved that genus <italic>Sasa</italic> sec. <italic>Macrochlamys</italic> were the most basal and sect. <italic>Monilicladae</italic> were the next most basal, followed by the terminal sister clades of sects. <italic>Sasa</italic> and <italic>Crassinodi</italic><italic>.</italic></p> </abstract>
