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

ABSTRACT: This study elucidates the taxonomic position of Indosasasangzhiensis in considering whether it belongs to Indosasa or Chimonobambusa. Based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence, our results explicitly indicated that I.sangzhiensis should be a member of Chimonobambusa, rather than Indosasa, and is a distinct species closely related to C.communis, C.opienensis and C.puberula. Thus, the new combination Chimonobambusasangzhiensis (B.M.Yang) N.H.Xia & Z.Y.Niu is made. A detailed description as well as two color plates of this species are also provided.
