Description
Summary:The post-Linnaean names that have been applied to bamboo genera are listed, with authorship, place of publication and typification. Notes have been added in some cases where questions have arisen as to the status of the genus or of the type species. For completeness, especially in the interest of beginners, the pertinent data concerning generic names that were not validly published (according to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature), as well as those whose spelling requires correction or interpretation, are included. The typification of names not validly published may, by some, be deemed unnecessary, but I believe that the reader's perspective may be improved by the addition of this detail in such cases. The author will be grateful to be informed of any case where a different type species than the one here designated for any given genus has been proposed elsewhere.
