Abstract:The widely distributed and morphologically variable grass species Bothriochloa intermedia (R. Br.) A. Camus was studied in detail. Morphological and cytogenetical observations indicated that variation is due to interspecific and intergeneric hybridization. The species B. grahamii (Haines) Bor and B. glabra (Roxb.) A. Camus represent intergeneric hybrid derivatives between B. intermedia and Dichanthium annulatum (Forssk.) Stapf, and between B. intermedia and Capillipedium parviflorum (R. Br.) Stapf, respectively. These intergeneric hybrids, and also the apomictic hybrid derivatives of both B. grahamii and B. intermedia with the related B. ischaemum (L.) Keng, are included in the compilospecies. Morphological and cytogenetical studies suggested that the apomictic B. odorata (Lisboa) A. Camus and B. haenkei (Presl) Ohwi are biotypes of B. glabra. The genera involved, Bothriochloa O. Kuntze, Capillipedium Stapf and Dichanthium Willemet, behave phylogenetically like sections of a single genus, with the last-mentioned generic name taking priority.
