关于慈竹属和单竹属的讨论

 When F. A. McClure published the new genus Sinocalamus McClure in 1940, the4 species he listed are S. latiflorus (Munro) McClure, S. beecheyanus (Munro) Mc-Clure, S. oldhami (Munro) McClure and S. affinis (Rendle) McClure.  After carefulexamination, the authors of this paper considered that the type species of McClure’sgenus S. latiflorus (Munro) McClure should belong to the genus Dendrocalamus Nees,and the other species are of Bambusa Schreber.  Owing to Sinocalamus McClure is nota taxon representative of its type species, but a mixture, it must be rejected as asynonym of Dendrocalamus Nees.  In consequence then, the authors make adjustmentto the taxonomic category of the 14 species and 1 variety which have ever been inSinocalamus McClure.     As for the characters of Lingnania McClure, except that some differences exist inthe vegetative parts, the structure of the spikelets is in the main the same as that ofBambusa Schreber.  Consequently, with regard to the systematic relationship, the authorsconsider it may be more resonable that the rank of Lingnania McClure should be alter-ed to Bambusa Schreber subg.  Lingnania (MeClure) Chia  et H. L. Fung; all thespecies of Lingnania McClure, except that L. tsiangii McClure should be transferredto Dendrocalamus Nees, should be assignable to Bambusa Schreber subg.  Lingnania(McClure) Chia et H.
