Systematics Poales are sister-group to [Commelinales+Cannales] (Commelinanae).

Bromeliaceae and Typhaceae are basal branches in Poales. They were identified as sister-groups in several studies, and Stevens (2001 onwards) cites the following potential synapomorphies for the clade [Bromeliaceae+Typhaceae]: stomatal subsidiary cells with oblique divisions; leaf without distinct sheath; three-nucleotide deletion in the atpA gene. However, these features may be polarized as plesiomorphies instead. Oblique divisions of subsidiary cells also occurs outside Poales (e.g. Iridales). There is a large variation in leaf base sheathing among monocots in general. Finally, the three-base deletion may be interpreted as an insertion in the other clades. Givnish & al. (2010) found Bromeliaceae as sister to the remaining Poales, whereas Typhaceae are successive sister-group to the rest.

Rapateaceae are sister to the remaining Poales except Bromeliaceae and Typhaceae (with various higher or lower support) in many molecular analyses. The remainder of Poales form a somewhat different topology depending on the genes and methods used for the analyses. One possible topology is [Prionium+[Thurnia+[Juncaceae+Cyperaceae]]]+[[Mayaca+[Xyridaceae+ Eriocaulaceae]]+pooids]]. Another plausible topology may be the following (2012 version of Stevens 2001 onwards): [[[Xyridaceae+Eriocaulaceae]+[Mayaca+[Thurniaceae+[Juncaceae+ Cyperaceae]]]]+pooids], where Mayacaceae are sister to the cyperoids. The main clade, representing the vast majority of Poales is characterized by the features (Stevens 2001 onwards): cellulose fibrils in outer epidermal cell walls of root elongation zone arranged parallel to root axis; trichoblast in atrichoblast/trichoblast cell pair adjacent to apical meristem; absence of septal nectaries; pollen grains tricellular at dispersal; absence of parietal tissue in ovule; absence (loss) of the mitochondrial gen sdh4; and presence of (1->3),(1->4)-ß-D-glucans in cell walls. C4 metabolism is widely distributed here. Moreover, the root hairs in most of those Poales which have been studied develop exclusively from special small cells in the epidermal (piliferous) layer. In most vascular plants the root hairs develop from any cell of the epidermal (piliferous) layer.

Stevens (2001 onwards) lists the following potential synapomorphies of the clade [[Eriocaulaceae+Xyridaceae]+[Mayaca+[Prionium+[Thurnia+[Juncaceae+Cyperaceae]]]]]: leaves spirally arranged; anthers basifixed; outer tepals persistent in fruit; deletions in ORF2280 region; loss of entire plastid gene accD and mitochondrial gene sdh4; and presence of flavonoids.

The xyrid clade, comprising Mayacaceae, Eriocaulaceae and Xyridaceae has, e.g., the following potential synapomorphies (Stevens 2001 onwards): silica bodies absent; spiral leaves; perianth differentiated into outer sepalous and inner petalous tepals; basifixed anthers; pollen grains with spinulate exine; style present; micropyle bistomal; calyx persistent in fruit; seed coat endostomal-tegmic; presence of operculum (’embryostega’) on the seed; undifferentiated embryo; and presence of flavonoids. The position of and support of this clade varies according to analysis methods.

Eriocaulaceae and Xyridaceae (at least Xyris itself) form a well supported monophyletic group in most analyses, characterized by the following potential synapomorphies, according to Stevens (2001 onwards): vessel elements with simple perforation plates; absence of silica bodies; inflorescence scapose, capitate, and provided with involucral bracts; clawed inner tepals; filaments adnate to inner tepals, antepetalous; presence of exothecium; exine provided with spines; seed ridged, with tegmic operculum; and cuticular layer present between testa and tegmen. The last character also occurs in Rapateaceae.

The strongly supported cyperoid clade [Prionium+[Thurnia+[Juncaceae+Cyperaceae]]] has the following potential synapomorphies (Stevens 2001 onwards): absence of mycorrhiza; trichoblasts arising from distal cell in a cell pair; culm angular in cross-section; leaves tristichous, with air canals; leaf sheath usually closed; perianth small, membranous and undifferentiated, or absent; microsporogenesis simultaneous; pollen grains porate, shed in tetrads, and tricellular at dispersal; ovules anatropous; seed coat testal-tegmic; photosynthesizing unifacial cotyledon hyperphyll (phanomer) usually present; presence of hypocotyl; seedling collar minute, with rhizoids; chromosomes with diffuse centromeres; deletions in ORF2280; a 3 bp deletion in the plastid gene atpA; and presence of amylophilic pteridophyte type starch grains, 3-deoxyanthocyanins and luteolin-5-methylether. The clade [Juncaceae+Cyperaceae] alone has endostomal micropyle; absence (loss) of plastid gene rpl23; and presence of luteolin-5’methyl ether.

The clade [[Mayaca+[Eriocaulaceae+Xyridaceae]]+pooids], with fairly weak support in some molecular analyses, is supported by the characters tenuinucellate ovules and minute and little differentiated embryo.

The pooid clade is strongly supported by molecular data and comprises [[Anarthriaceae+ [Centrolepidaceae+Restionaceae]]+[Flagellariaceae+[Joinvilleaceae+Ecdeiocoleaceae+Poaceae]]]]. Stevens (2001 onwards) cites the following potential synapomorphies: sieve tube plastids with cuneate and additional loosely packed protein crystals; leaves usually distichous and sheathing; floral prophylls (bracteoles) often absent; tepals membranous and undifferentiated; endothecial cell wall thickenings girdle-like; pollen grains monoporate, annulate/ulcerate and with scrobiculate exine (with minute pores penetrating tectum and foot layer); stigma plumose, with receptive cells on multicellular branches; placentation apical; ovule one per carpel, orthotropous; micropyle bistomal; embryo minute, undifferentiated, broad; seedling with collar rhizoids; deletions in the ORF2280 region; primary cell wall also containing (1–3, 1–4)-β-D-glucans; and presence of flavones.

The restioid clade of this monophyletic group includes Anarthriaceae, Restionaceae and Centrolepidaceae (the last group possibly being nested inside Restionaceae) and is supported by the synapomorphies: usually dioecious; root hairs developing from any epidermal cell (a reversal); culm with parenchymatous sheath, palisade chlorenchymatous tissue, and sclerenchymatous cylinder with vascular bundles inside; chlorenchyma with peg cells; stamens three, antepetalous; anthers dorsifixed; phanomer (photosynthesizing unifacial cotyledon hyperphyll) present; and loss of plastid gene rpoC1. Restionaceae and Centrolepidaceae share the apomorphies: absence of mycorrhiza; absence of hairs; anthers disporangiate and monothecal; pollen grain pore non-annulate, with irregular margin; cells of megasporangial epidermis anticlinally elongated; megagametophyte with compound starch grains (in particular around polar nuclei); and antipodal cells persistent and proliferating.

The pooids in a strict sense may have the topology [Flagellariaceae+[[Joinvilleaceae+ Ecdeiocoleaceae]+Poaceae]], which is followed here. On the other hand, Ecdeiocoleaceae are sometimes recovered as sister to Poaceae. In any case, the pooids s.str. clade is characterized by the following potential synapomorphies (Stevens 2001 onwards): trichoblasts arising from distal cell of each cell pair; pseudolamina with transverse veins; leaf sheath with distal ligule; inflorescence a panicle, with adaxial swellings on branches; presence of nucellar cap; massive suprachalazal zone; indehiscent fruit; cotyledon non-photosynthesizing; and primary cell walls with mixed-linkage glucans. Finally, the monophyletic group formed by Joinvilleaceae, Ecdeiocoleaceae and Poaceae may have the synapomorphies: silica bodies cuboid; epidermis with microhairs; foliar epidermis with long and silica-containing short cells; guard cells dumbbell-shaped; presence of fusoid cells (large colourless cells in the central mesophyll); hollow stem; presence of nucellar cap; first seedling leaf lacking lamina; presence of one 28 kb and one 6,4 kb inversion in the plastid genome; and loss of the functional plastid gene ycf2.

Phylogeny of Cyperales based on DNA sequence data (Givnish & al. 1999; Michelangeli & al. 2003; Marchant & Briggs 2007; Briggs & al. 2010; Givnish & al. 2010). Rapateaceae are sometimes recovered adjacent to Mayacaceae, Xyridaceae and Eriocaulaceae, whereas Mayaca is sister to the clade [Prionium+[Thurnia+[Juncaceae+Cyperaceae]]] in Stevens (2001 onwards, version 9). The JEP clade is often unresolved, or either Ecdeiocoleaceae, Joinvilleaceae or [Ecdeiocoleaceae+Joinvilleaceae] are placed as sister-group to Poaceae. Centrolepidaceae are now included in Restionaceae (as Centrolepidoideae).

Genera/species 100–105/5.500–5.600

Distribution Cosmopolitan, with their largest diversity in temperate and alpine regions.

Fossils Fossil pollen and infructescence of Volkeria messelensis from the mid-Eocene of Germany were assigned to Mapanioideae. Fossil fruits (Caricoidea, Cladiocarya, Polycarpella, Scleriocarya, etc. and also several extant genera) of Cyperaceae (Cyperoideae) have been recorded from the mid-Paleocene onwards in, above all, Europe, Asia and North America, and pollen grains are relatively frequent in Cenozoic layers.

Graminids. Some species have bulb-like or tuberous swollen internodes or stem bases. A few species possess stilt roots. Rhynchospora anomala xeromorphic, with adventitious roots (with well developed velamen) running down along envelope formed by persistent leaf bases. Many species are helophytes (sometimes aquatic). Culm usually medullated (rarely hollow or septate) and terete to sharply triangular in cross-section (rarely flattened, winged or quadrangular to sexangular in cross-section).

Vegetative anatomy Mycorrhiza usually absent (vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza present in some species).

Chlorenchyma with lobed cells (peg cells?) present. Idioblasts with frequent tannins and polyphenols. Silica bodies conical, inserted on cell walls, usually inner periclinal epidermal cell walls near veins. Calciumoxalate raphides absent.

Trichomes Hairs usually unicellular (sometimes multicellular, uniseriate) or absent; often with unicellular ‘prickle hairs’, with sharp-pointed apex and usually swollen base.

Leaves Alternate (usually tristichous, sometimes distichous, tetrastichous or spiral), simple, entire, usually linear (rarely ensiform or terete), often reduced to a mere leaf sheath, with conduplicate, plicate, revolute, convolute (supervolute) or involute ptyxis.

Stomata usually paracytic (sometimes tetracytic), with dumbbell-shaped guard cells. Cuticular wax crystalloids as aggregated rodlets (Strelitzia type) or non-orientated. Air canals present. Epidermis usually with silica bodies. Mesophyll without mucilaginous idioblasts and calciumoxalate raphides. Leaf margin usually entire (sometimes finely serrate-dentate).

Inflorescence Terminal (sometimes pseudolateral), usually compound (sometimes simple) panicle, corymb, spike-like, anthela and/or head-like, consisting of axillary one- or many-flowered spikelets (sometimes a solitary spikelet), each in axil of often foliaceous bract and with one or more bracts without flowers; bracts with or without sheath; floral bracts usually small and scale-like, persistent or caducous; lowermost spikelet scale often prophyll, usually without flower. Spikelet usually monopodial (indeterminate; sometimes sympodial?). Central axis of spikelet, rhachilla, persistent or caducous (rarely fragmented into one-flowered units); rhachilla internodes short or long, sometimes winged or curved around fruit/fruits. Female spikelet in Carex reduced to pistil and rhachilla, enclosed by urceolate utriculus, perigynium, formed by basal prophyll of one-flowered female spikelet.

Flowers Actinomorphic (zygomorphic through reduction), small. Hypogyny. Tepals usually (one to) three (or four) or 3+3 (sometimes more than six), usually hair-, bristle- or scale-like, usually free (sometimes connate), or absent. Nectary absent. Disc usually absent.

Androecium Stamens (one to) three (to six; in Chrysithrix numerous [in pseudanthium?]), at least sometimes antesepalous. Filaments usually free (rarely more or less connate), usually free from tepals. Anthers basifixed, versatile, tetrasporangiate, introrse or latrorse, longicidal (dehiscing by longitudinal slits); connective often comb-shaped and prolonged. Tapetum secretory, with binucleate to multinucleate cells. Staminodia absent.

Pollen grains Microsporogenesis simultaneous (Cyperaceae variation). Pollen grains graminoid, usually monoulcerate or monoporate (in Carex and other Cyperaceae with pseudomonads five or six circular or elongate poroids present: one distal and additional poroids equatorial), shed as pseudomonads (cryptotetrads), three microspores in each tetrahedral tetrad degenerating and incorporated into wall of functioning fourth pollen grain, usually tricellular (sometimes bicellular) at dispersal. Exine tectate, with columellate infratectum, smooth; exine formed from microsporocyte wall. Intine in Carex sometimes thin below aperture, thick in interapertural regions.

Gynoecium Pistil composed of two or three (or four) connate and at least sometimes antesepalous carpels (median carpel in Carex adaxial, inverted); gynoecium developing from annular primordium. Ovary superior, unilocular (sometimes on gynophore). Stylodia two or three (rarely four), simple or branched, free or connate in lower part; stylar base often enlarged and persistent. Stigmas two or three (to nine), filiform, adaxially decurrent, papillate or non-papillate, Dry type. Pistillodium absent.

Ovules Placentation basal. Ovule one per ovary, anatropous, bitegmic, crassinucellar. Micropyle usually endostomal (at least in Hypolytrum often bistomal, Z-shaped).

Collar very small, with rhizoids. Germination cryptocotylar?

Cytology n = 5–>60 (chromosome numbers in Carex extremely variable). – Centromere in many species diffuse (centric activity present over more or less the entire chromosomes; not limited to a specific site; spindle fibrils attached at several sites along chromosomes), easily leading to aberrant chromosome numbers by chromosome fragmentation, agmatoploidy, detached chromosome segments moving against poles and remaining functional. Following meiosis three nuclei move towards one pole and degenerate; finally, they become embedded in the wall of the surviving microspore.

DNA Deletion encompassing three base pairs in plastid gene atpA. Plastid gene rpl23 lost. Plastid gene infA lost/defunct (Cyperus). One three base pairs insertion present in nuclear 5.8S rDNA. Mitochondrial gene rps14 transferred to nucleus (pseudogene ψrps14 present in mitochondrial genome).

Carbohydrates stored as kestose and isokestose oligosaccharides (fructans). Ferulic and p-coumaric acids (esterified) components of non-lignified cell walls. Ellagic acid not found. Aluminium accumulation occurring in some species.

Certain species of Rhynchospora are said to be pollinated by insects (Leppik 1955). – Trilepideae are sister-group to the remaining Cyperoideae and Cladium is successive sister to the rest. Larridon & al. (2013) have shown that most genera recognized in Cypereae (e.g. by Goetghebeur 1998) are nested inside Cyperus. An even more comprehensive investigation may reveal that Cyperus comprises the majority of the Cypereae above. The clade [Blysmus+Dulichium] is sister-group to [Khaosokia+Calliscirpus+[Scirpeae+Cariceae]] in Hinchliff & Roalson (2013). However, the situation in Cyperoideae at least distal to Rhynchosporeae is chaotic and every new comprehensive analysis of this part of Cyperaceae presents a new picture of their phylogeny. Hence, the subdivision above is still provisional. Sumatroscirpus (Sumatroscirpeae) is sister-group to Carex (Cariceae) (Léveillé-Bourret & al. 2018).

Systematics Luzula (115–120; cosmopolitan, especially temperate Northern Hemisphere), ‘Juncus’ (300–310; cosmopolitan; non-monophyletic), Marsippospermum (4; M. gracile: South Island in New Zealand, Campbell Islands, Antipodes Islands; M. grandiflorum: central and southern Chile, southern Argentina, Falkland Islands; M. philippii, M. reichei: southern Chile, southern Argentina), Rostkovia (2; R. magellanica: South Island in New Zealand, Campbell Islands, Antipodes Islands, Ecuador, southern Chile, southern Argentina, Falkland Islands, South Georgia Islands; R. tristanensis: Tristan da Cunha), ‘Oxychloe’ (5; O. andina, O. bisexualis, O. castellanosii, O. haumaniana, O. mendocina; the Andes from Peru to northern Patagonia in Argentina; non-monophyletic), Distichia (3; D. acicularis: the Andes in Ecuador; D. filamentosa: the Andes in Peru, Bolivia and northern Chile; D. muscoides: the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and northwestern Argentina), Patosia (1; P. clandestina; Bolivia, Chile, western Argentina).

Oxychloe has occasionally been interpreted as sister to Cyperaceae, thus making Juncaceae paraphyletic. It lacks a groove and additional subepidermal sclerenchyma girdles in the leaf. In, e.g., the Plunkett & al. (1995) and Munro & Linder (1998) analyses, Oxychloe is recovered within Cyperaceae. However, these analyses were obviously based on mixed samples. The position of Oxychloe in Juncaceae – near Distichia and Patosia – has been clarified by later investigations.

Thurnia (Thurniaceae) and Prionium (Prioniaceae) are successive sister-groups to the [Juncaceae+Cyperaceae] clade.

Luzula elegans is sister to the remaining species of the monophyletic Luzula. The species is annual and has a cymose inflorescence. The six somatic chromosomes evolved as a result of chromosome fusion (Nordenskiöld 1951).

Juncus’ in the current circumscription is heavily non-monophyletic, according to Drábková & al. (2003, 2006) and Drábková (2010), with the two species J. monanthos and J. trifidus forming a sister-group to the remaining Juncaceae, and J. capitatus successive sister to the rest. Luzula was sister to a main clade comprising Juncus pro parte, Distichia, Marsippospermum, Oxychloe, Patosia, and Rostkovia. Furthermore, Juncus capensis and J. lomatophyllus formed a sister-group to Oxychloe, Distichia and Patosia, where Distichia was paraphyletic relative to Patosia. Additional molecular analyses, including even more taxa of Juncus, are desirable.

Strict consensus tree of Juncaceae based on DNA sequence data (Drábková 2010). Rostkovia has been added here as sister to Marsippospermum as revealed in some analyses.

DNA The plastid genome has one inversion of 28 kb, a second inversion of 6,4 kb, and a third inversion of 0,2–2 kb, and only 17 introns. The plastid gene accD, ORF244 and the introns 1 and 2 in clpP are often absent (at least in Bambusa, Oryza and Zea). ORF2280 is absent in many Poaceae. The intron is absent from the plastid gene rpoC1 (at least in Oryza and Zea). An insertion is present in the plastid gene rpoC2. A trnT inversion is present in the single copy region of the plastid genome. The IR region of the plastid DNA is expanded. A translocation has taken place in the plastid genome, thus creating the pseudogene ψrpl23.

Duplication of the nuclear genes AP1/FUL (FUL1 and FUL2) has taken place in the crown clade (this duplication may be involved in the evolution of the spikelet): one copy coding for degradation of starch into fermentable sugars in endosperm, the second copy with wider expression. Vast gene duplications have taken place in the API, AG and SEP gene families, although not in the AP3 evolutionary line. A duplication of the gene LOFSEP may have taken place in Poaceae (Malcomber & Kellogg 2005), the entire genome being duplicated in a clade comprising at least Zea, Oryza, Hordeum, and Sorghum. Loss of nuclear genes ycf1 and ycf2, the c. 200 bp ψycf1 being left in the genome. The mitochondrial gene rps14 has been transferred to the nuclear genome, the pseudogene ψrps14 being left in mtDNA.

Systematics Poaceae are sister-group either to Ecdeiocoleaceae or (perhaps more probable) to the clade [Joinvilleaceae+Ecdeiocoleaceae]. Multicellular microhairs are present in Joinvilleaceae and many Poaceae (also in Ecdeiocoleaceae?). - Poaceae incertae sedis: Schmidiella (1; S. maxwellii; Laos).

The system below largely follows: Soreng RJ, Davidse G, Peterson PM, Zuloaga FO, Judziewicz EJ, Filgueiras TS, Morrone O, Romaschenko. 2012 (and continuously revised). A world-wide phylogenetic classification of Poaceae (Gramineae). Published online. Another important source is Peterson & al. (2011).The potential synapomorphies of the clades are mainly according to Stevens (2001 onwards).

A possible topology is the following:

[Anomochloa+[Streptochaeta+[Pharoideae+[Puelioideae+[[Aristidoideae+[Panicoideae+Arundinoideae]]]+[Oryzoideae+[Bambusoideae+Pooideae]]]]]]]

Sometimes, the following two alternative topologies of the “crown clade” are recovered:

[[Pooideae+[Bambusoideae+Oryzoideae]]+[Micrairoideae+[Panicoideae+[[Aristidoideae+Danthonioideae]+[Arundinoideae+Chloridoideae]]]]] or [Bambusoideae+[Oryzoideae+[Pooideae+[Panicoideae+[[Aristidoideae+Danthonioideae]+[Arundinoideae+Chloridoideae]]]]]]

In others, Streptochaeta is recovered as successive sister to the remaining Poaceae (except Anomochloa). The bicarinate palea in Streptochaeta is sometimes interpreted as originated from two adaxial outer tepals. Likewise, the lodiculae have been interpreted as three modified inner tepals. In a way, morphology indicates that Streptochaeta may be sister to all other Poaceae (including Anomochloa).

118/1.555–1.580. Tropical, subtropical and temperate regions, often forests. Woody, sometimes tree-like. Mesophyll differentiated into palisade and spongy tissues. Fusoid cells and strongly asymmetrically invaginated arm cells present. Microhairs elongate, with slender thin-walled cap cells (Panicoid type). Leaves with pseudopetiole, often with inner and outer distal ligules. Culm leaves often very different from other leaves (heterophylly). Lodiculae two or three. Stamens (two to) six (to c. 140). Filaments sometimes connate at base. Stigmas (one or) two or three. Fruit sometimes a berry. First seedling leaf only sheath. n = 7, 9–12. – Woody and some herbaceous species have a synchronized anthesis, and many are monocarpic (hapaxanthic); this may be a plesiomorphy in Bambusoideae. The woody temperate species perhaps form a sister-group to the remainder.

Fossils Restiocarpus comprises fossil fruits from the Eocene/Oligocene border of Queensland and may be remnants of Restionaceae or some allied group. Pollen grains with the formal name of Milfordia are known from Eocene strata in Queensland, Europe, Asia and North America.

Systematics Restionaceae are sister-group to Anarthriaceae.

The diversification in the Cape Region (c. 350 species) may have started during the Late Eocene or the Early Oligocene (Hardy & al. 2004), and trans-oceanic dispersal – rather than vicariance – may be the explanation for the presence of Restionaceae in both South Africa and Australasia. South African Restionaceae have protecting cells in the form of lignified chlorenchyma cells surrounding subepidermal cavities, flavonols (sometimes myricetin), proanthocyanidins, and fewer flavones. Australian Restionaceae have usually terete leaves (not in Anthochortus); pollen grains with large pores without annulus; non-photosynthesizing cotyledon; elongate internodes on seedling culm; and chlorenchymatous palisade cells; sulphated flavonoids; few flavonols (quercetin more frequent) and rarely proanthocyanidins.

Parsimony analysis of trnK and trnL-F identified Centrolepidaceae as sister-group to Restionaceae (Briggs & Linder 2009). On the other hand, Bayesian-inference analysis of the trn sequences and data from rbcL analyses recovered the clade (on a very long branch) as embedded within Restionaceae (Briggs & Linder 2009; Briggs & al. 2014). This is also found in some maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony analyses (e.g., Linder & al. 2000; Briggs & al. 2010, 2014). In these cases, the following topology was: [Restionoideae+[Sporadanthoideae+[Leptocarpoideae+Centrolepidoideae]]].

The leaves in Centrolepidoideae resemble the seedling leaves of Restionaceae, and Centrolepidoideae may have evolved from neotenic Restionaceae. The apertures of the pollen grains in some Australian Leptocarpoideae are similar to those in Centrolepidoideae, having a granular infratectum instead of the columellate infratectum seen in the majority of Restionaceae. Endexine is absent from or very poorly developed in Centrolepidoideae.

The interpretation of the complex inflorescence of Centrolepidoideae (particularly in Aphelia) has been extremely difficult. The reproductive units in Centrolepis were interpreted by Sokoloff & al. (2009, 2010) as distichously arranged in lateral double spikelets each subtended by a bract. Usually, each reproductive unit (flower?) is rarely subtended by a bract (one important exception is Centrolepis racemosa) and consists of a single stamen and one to c. 30 (to 45) carpels. Gaimardia, on the other hand, has simple terminal spikelets. An alternative explanation was presented by Cooke (1998), who interpreted the inflorescence as being a bisexual pseudanthium consisting of a varying number of unisexual atepalous flowers, each comprising one or two stamens and a single carpel, respectively.
