Marantochloa Gris (1860: 321) View in CoL , Africa

Marantochloa View in CoL is superficially similar to native Donax View in CoL and Schumannianthus View in CoL in their tall, branched aerial stems and similar inflorescence structures. Marantochloa View in CoL are usually smaller, and the flowers in commonly cultivated species are either dark wine-red on a sparse inflorescence ( M. purpurea View in CoL [ Ridley, 1887: 132] Milne-Redh. in Léonard & Milne-Redhead [1950: 21], fig. 7O–P), paler purple in a tighter, spiciform inflorescence ( M. mannii ( Bentham 1883: 653) Milne-Redhead [1952: 167] View in CoL , fig. 7M–N) or greenish white ( M. leucantha (Schuman 1892: 436) Milne-Redh. View in CoL in Léonard & Milne-Redhead [1950: 19]).
