Doell, 1877 in Mart. Fl. Bras. II, 2322 probably belongs in this group as 
suggested by Doell (op. cit. p. 329). It seems likely that the ,sym- 
podium“ he describes is not truly a sympodium but that the culms 
simulate this habit by a twisting of the internodes, as not infrequently 
occurs in this genus and in Lithachne.
