039A595EFFAF065DFF62FA0A6F68FD4C.taxon	description	Varying views regarding the definition of genera in the Melocanninae subtribe have been expressed. Holttum (1946) suggested that connateness of filaments does not seem to be a strong enough character for generic delineation and subsequently (Holttum 1954, 1956) included Neohouzeaua into his concept of Schizostachyum. A similar view was taken by Xia (1993), who recognised Cephalostachyum and Pseudostachyum as distinct genera, but included Dendrochloa, Leptocanna, Neohouzeaua and Teinostachyum within Schizostachyum.	en	Merklinger, Felix F., Chhang, Phourin, Abstract, K.

039A595EFFAF065DFF62FA0A6F68FD4C.taxon	description	While it may seem too early still to assess the taxonomic importance of characters for separating Neohouzeaua from Schizostachyum, our new species is consistent with the type of Schizostachyum, S. blumei Nees (1829: 535), in having pseudospikelets that end in a pronounced rachilla extension and terminal vestigial flower, absence of glumes and lodicules, and presence of three stigmas. It differs from the type and several other species in the genus in having a glabrous lemma and palea (the type species has a pubescent lemma and palea surface).	en	Merklinger, Felix F., Chhang, Phourin, Abstract, K.
