It is unusual in the tribe in having unlobed lemmas, but has the haustorial synergids, bilobed or bi-awned prophylls, and stalked ovaries characteristic of the tribe. Linder and Davidse (1997) suggested that its closest relatives are probably Schismus, Karroochloa, and Rytidosperma.</p> |tables= |references={{Treatment/Reference |id=clifford1996a |text=Clifford, H.T. 1996.
