Abstract

Subtribe Tripsacinae of the tribe Andropogoneae comprises two New World genera, Tripsacum and Zea (Clayton, 1973). These “sister” genera (terminology of Hennig, 1966) are distinct morphologically and also karyotypically, with base chromosome numbers of n = 18 in Tripsacum and n = 10 in Zea. Doebley and litis (1980; see also litis and Doebley, 1980) radically revised sectional circumscription in Zea, and provided the first workable taxonomy for that genus.
