GENUS INDEX
GENUS CODE: SCHOE6 GENUS SCIENTIFIC:Schoenoplectus GENUS AUTHORITY: (Rchb.) Palla GENUS COMMON: Bulrush GENUS SUMMARY: A genus of about 50 species, herbs, cosmopolitan in distribution. Micromorphologic, anatomic, and molecular studies have confirmed earlier opinions based on morphology that Schoenoplectus is not closely related to Scirpus (Strong 1994, Smith 1995, Schuyler, pers. comm.). Most investigators now also favor the separation of Bolboschoenus from Schoenoplectus (Pignotti & Mariotti 2004). GENUS IDENTIFICATION: GENUS REFERENCES: Strong (1994)=Z; Smith (1995)=Y; Smith in FNA (2002b); Shiels et al. (2014); Goetghebeur in Kubitzki (1998b); Pignotti & Mariotti (2004).
