Gynerieae, a New Neotropical Tribe of Grasses (Poaceae)

Gynerium was traditionally classified in the reed tribe Arundineae in the Arundinoideae, but recent molecular studies strongly support its affinities with the Panicoideae + Centothecoideae clade. A new tribe, the Gynerieae, is described to accommodate Gynerium.
