Abstract
The genus Miscanthus is a member of the tribe Andropogoneae and, following the taxonomy of Pilger (1954), part of the subtribe Saccharineae. Miscanthus’ geographical distribution is from the tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate parts of southeast Asia to the Pacific Islands (Greef and Deuter 1993). In Japan (Mutoh et al. 1985), Taiwan, and New Guinea (Chou and Ueng 1992), they form the most common perennial grassland communities. They are dominants of the major disclimax communities. An example is the seminatural grassland types in Japan that developed as a result of human intervention, such as burning or mowing (Mutoh et al. 1985).
