Abstract:

 Revision of some newly and previously published taxa of the woody bamboos, or the Bambusoideae in China resulted in some nomenclatural changes for the Flora of China. Based on recent molecular analyses, the delimitation of Arundinaria s.l. is not confirmed. Four species treated in Arundinaria in the Flora are currently resurrected in Bashania. With six additional species not accepted or treated in the Flora, there are 10 species of Bashania in China. Specimens used for Neomicrocalamus microphyllus (nom.nud.) should be treated in N.prainii, while N.yunnanensis is possibly a member of Melocalamus, not of Neomicrocalamus.

Key words:  Arundinaria, Bashania, Neomicrocalamus, Flora of China, Bambusoideae
