Danthonioideae is a mainly
PACMAD clade of grasses, but unlike some other lineages in that clade, grasses in the Danthonioideae exclusively use the C3 photosynthetic pathway.[4] Its sister group is the subfamily Chloridoideae.[4]
There are 19 genera, 18 of which are placed in tribe Danthonieae, while one is as yet unplaced (phylogenetic evidence from nuclear and chloroplast DNA suggests that hybridisation events played an important role in the Danthonioideae.[5]
