Ligule a glabrous to ciliate collar-shaped membrane, rarely absent. Leaf blades sometimes pseudope- tiolate. Inflorescence espatheate, composed of spicate main branches, solitary or digitate, subdigitate, or non-digitate, usually disarticulating transversally at the joints, joints slen- der, linear or not, joints and pedicels without a longitudinal, translucent furrow. Pedicel free of the rachis. Spikelets in sessile and pedicellate pairs, dorsoventrally compressed; callus short. Glumes awned or muticous, very dissimilar; lower glume rounded to sulcate on the back, 4– 6-nerved; upper glume cymbiform, 3-nerved. Sessile spikelets without a pedicel, deciduous with the adjacent joint and pedicel of the pedicelled spikelet, with incomplete florets, lower floret well-developed, bisexual, to reduced to absent, lower lemma and palea variously reduced to both absent. Upper lemma acute to deeply cleft, muticous to 1-awned from the apex or sinus, awn with or without a column, then either wavy or geniculate, glabrous. Upper palea present or not.

Nees’s description, however, refers clearly enough to the current concept. Steudel (1854b: 411), who saw Nees’s specimens in B, cited Arthraxon 8838 Wall. Cat. (the type of Andropogon vimineus) Panicum – Hornem. in Herb. Willd. As the specimen was collected in Nepal, it most likely would also be a Wallich collection, many of which, if not all, Willdenow got through Hornemann. There is no Arthraxon, Leptatherum, Microstegium, or Pollinia listed in the catalogue to the IDC microfiche. The specimen was not found under Panicum (or Andropogon and some other educated guesses).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/896687F32672FF92FFB9F9FB822A0F29	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Rachis fragile.</p><p>Notes — Microstegium brandisii is usually treated as a synonym of M. eucnemis . However, M. eucnemis has erect culms and its inflorescence has 3–5 digitate racemes. Microstegium brandisii has procumbent culms and its inflorescence is a solitary raceme. In our opinion, it is more appropriate to combine it with M. clavigerum .</p><p>This is another example of a disjunct distribution of drought plants between Burma and E Java. Curiously, it has been also found in Taiwan recently.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/896687F32677FF97FFB9FC8B832908F8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The form without an awn is perhaps at most to be called Microstegium vimineum forma willdenovianum . Inflorescences with muticous basal spikelets were described as Eulalia viminea var. variabilis . Sometimes the pedicelled spikelet is so much reduced, that in keys the genus cannot be identified (Noltie 2000).</p><p>Camus (1922) noted cleistogamous florets here and in the synonymous M. debile, where the anthers were not exerted, but remained inside the spikelet even in fruit. Cleistogamous inflorescences would be hidden in the sheath (Ehrenfeld 1999). Chen &amp; Phillips (2006) noted that M. reticulatum “represents an extreme local variant from the Microstegium vimineum complex. It is distinguished from typical M. vimineum by the combination of a more delicate habit, broader leaf blades, and a conspicuously reticulately veined lower glume”. Although we have not seen the type, we find these characters insufficient to recognise the taxon at any level.</p><p>Note the disjunct distribution. Curiously, no collections from Thailand have been seen although the collections in BM, E, K, L, and P have been searched.</p><p>This species has been illustrated by Hsu (1975), Osada (1993), and Liu (1997), and by Chen &amp; Phillips (2007) as both M. reticulatum and M. vimineum</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/896687F32665FF8BFD70FCA383360828	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
