(Poaceae, Bambusoideae), a new combination supported by morphological and phylogenetic evidence.

The results of phylogenetic analysis, based on the whole chloroplast genome and morphological study support the transfer of a long ignored bamboo species, , to the recently established genus, , in this study. Morphologically, this species differs from all the other known species by having very short (2-3 mm) foliage leaf inner ligules, which is unusual in this genus. A revised description of its morphology and colour photos are also provided.
