Abstract
A recent DNA-based phylogeny performed on 144 species in
the grass subtribe Sporobolinae Benth. depicts Sporobolus (1810) as
paraphyletic with Calamovilfa (A. Gray) Hack. (1890), Crypsis (1789),
Spartina (1789), and Thellungia Stapf (1920) embedded within (Peterson
& al. in Taxon 63: 1212–1243. 2014). Earlier molecular studies also
corroborate this result (Ortiz-Diaz & Culham in Soderstrom & al.,
Grass Syst. Evol.: 184–188. 2000; Hilu & Alice in Syst. Bot. 26: 386–
405. 2001; Columbus & al. in Aliso 23: 565–579. 2007; Bouchenak-
Khelladi & al. in Molec. Phylogen. Evol. 47: 488–505. 2008; Peterson
& al. in Molec. Phylogen. Evol. 55: 580–598. 2010). Peterson & al.
(l.c. 2010) recommended future expansion of Sporobolus to include
all of these genera, including the monophyletic Crypsis and Spartina,
reflecting their origins from within the Sporobolus lineage.
