註釋The history of the grass subfamily Bambusoideae is reviewed and nomenclatural problems of subfamilial and tribal level are explored. Characters are presented to distinguish the subfamily from all other grasses and differentiating features of the two major groups of bamboosherbaceous and woodyare included. Keys are given for the tribes and genera of herbaceous American bamboos and genera of woody American bamboos, the latter based principally on vegetative characters. A conspectus of the subfamily also appears, with a list of all 37 genera recognized in the American continent, each with nomenclatural and taxonomic notes. Comments on the morphology of the bamboo plant and the systematic value of some characters, especially vegetative, are given in the introduction.
