038787EAFFCFC17ACE3CFBD310A8FC33.taxon	discussion	Notes. – This remarkable genus is similar to Melocanna and Stapletonia in general appearance, but can be distinguished by the short necked rhizomes (vs long necked rhizomes in Melocanna or with extended necks in Stapletonia), pseudospikelets grouped at the distal nodes on leafless flowering branches (vs slightly compressed bilaterally on terminal leafy branches in Melocanna or large densely glomerate heads on terminal leafy branches in Stapletonia) and a long style with 3 stigmas (vs 2 to 4 or 2). The complete list of distinctive characters are summarized in Table 1.	en	Tran, Van Tien, Nguyen, Hoang Nghia, Xia, Nian-He (2013): Annamocalamus H. N. Nguyen, N. - H. Xia & V. T.
