Dinebra (Poaceae) page with comparative images:
Pl. go through Dinebra (Poaceae) page with comparative images of species in efloraofindia. On clicking the link of species, one can check the complete details.
I request you to pl. go through & point out mistakes, if any. I hope this will aid in identification in future. If anybody can send images of other species of this genus (for incorporation in the website), if any, or can identify unidentified images, it will be really nice. Pl. circulate it widely, for the benefit of all concerned.
Thanks a lot, Manoj Chandran ji, for most of the identifications.
The name Leptochloa chinensis and L.panicea needs to be retained or at least listed as a synonym to avoid confusion among taxonomists. The publication of new combination to Dinebra chinensis and D.panicea needs to be gone through. Powo does not mention this publication. If anyone is aware of the publication, kindly post.
