29519B1466D45C47BA356E596E0E011C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new species resembles Schizostachyum hainanense in having culm sheaths with an asymmetrically concave apex and well-developed oral setae. However, S. dakrongense differs from S. hainanense in its pseudospikelets having a terminal rachilla segment with ciliate margin, and 6 bracts; the base of the culm sheath outer margin with a slight projection below its point of attachment; culm sheath blades that are usually less than half as long as the sheath proper; pale-puberulent and sparsely pilosulous leaf blade abaxial surfaces.	en	Cai, Zhuo-Yu, Tong, Yi-Hua, Vu, Tien-Chinh, Ni, Jing-Bo, Xia, Nian-He (2020): Schizostachyum dakrongense (Poaceae, Bambusoideae), a new species from Dakrong Nature Reserve, Vietnam.
