New Names and New Combinations of Phyllostachys Sieb. & Zucc. (Bambusaceae)

The minimum criterion PHS (phylogenetic similarity) ≤ 0.928 (inter genera) for genus classification by CPCG (chloroplast complete genomes) of Fructophyta D.L.Fu & H.Fu is initially proposed. As a result, 34 current synonyms of the genus Phyllostachys Sieb. & Zucc. (Bambusaceae Burnett) have been identified, including Acidosasa C.D.Chu & C.S.Chao, Ampelocalamus S.L.Chen, T.H.Wen & G.Y.Sheng, Arundinaria Michx., Bashania Keng f. & T.P.Yi, Bergbambos Stapleton, Chimonobambusa Makino, Drepanostachyum Keng f., Fargesia Franch., Ferrocalamus Hsueh & P.J.Keng, Gaoligongshania D.Z.Li, Hsueh & N.H.Xia, Gelidocalamus T.H.Wen, Himalayacalamus Keng f., Indocalamus Nakai, Indosasa McClure, Kengiochloa Y.H.Tong & N.H.Xia, Khoonmengia N.H.Xia, Y.H.Tong & X.R.Zheng, Kuruna Attigala, Kathr. & L.G.Clark, Oldeania Stapleton, Oligostachyum Z.P.Wang & G.H.Ye, Pleioblastus Nakai, Pseudosasa Makino ex Nakai, Ravenochloa D.Z.Li & Y.X.Zhang, Sarocalamus Stapleton, Sasa Makino & Shibata, Sasaella Makino, Sasamorpha Nakai, Semiarundinaria Makino ex Nakai, Shibataea Makino ex Nakai, Sinobambusa Makino ex Nakai, Sinosasa L.C.Chia ex N.H.Xia, Q.M.Qin & Y.H.Tong, Thamnocalamus Munro, Tongpeia Stapleton, Vietnamocalamus T.Q.Nguyen and Yushania Keng f.. Additionally, 82 new specific names such as Phyllostachys aristiformis D.L.Fu & H.Fu and Phyllostachys hackelii Ohrnb. ex D.L.Fu, along with 454 new specific combinations like Phyllostachys abietina (T.P.Yi & L.Yang) D.L.Fu and Phyllostachys actinotricha (Merr. & Chun) D.L.Fu have been scientifically and validly published. These publications will effectively resolve taxonomic nomenclature confusion in a scientific manner and establish a solid foundation for evolutionary system research within the family Bambusaceae.
