1 No.37 (2002) pp Sasaella ramosa On the Inter-Generic Hybrid Sasaella ramosa Yoshiyuki HOSOYAMA, Kazuko HOSHIDA, Sonoe TAKEOKA and Shohei MIYATA (Received November 30, 2001) Until several ten years ago, the genus Sasaella consisted of about 140 species. Sasaella has been believed to be an inter-generic hybrid of Sasa and Pleioblastus. Recently a taxonomist rearranged these species into ten. One of them is Sasaella ramosa. In the neighborhood of Tokyo, we have two groups growing wild in this species, named before Sasaella hannouensis and S. Sawadai. Sequencing parts of chloroplast DNA of these two groups revealed the maternal genus of the former Sasa and the latter Pleioblastus. 1.
