It belongs to the PACMAD clade of grasses, but unlike some other lineages in that clade, grasses in the Danthonioideae exclusively use the C photosynthetic pathway. Its sister group is the subfamily Chloridoideae.

neg: Ophioderma Ophioderma is the scientific name of two genera of organisms and may refer to:

neg: Ophioderma pendulum Ophioderma pendulum is sometimes known as the old-world adder's-tongue. In Malaysia, it is known as daun rambu. It is a fern in the family Ophioglossaceae, and is the type species of the genus "Ophioderma".

neg: Erythroxylum echinodendron Erythroxylum echinodendron was a species of plant in the Erythroxylaceae family. It was endemic to Cuba.

neg: Acrostichum Acrostichum is a fern genus in the Ceratopteridoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae. It was one of the original pteridophyte genera delineated by Linnaeus. It was originally drawn very broadly, including all ferns that had sori apparently "acrostichoid", or distributed in a uniform mass across the back of the frond, rather than organized in discrete sori. This led Linnaeus to include such species as "Asplenium platyneuron" in the genus, because the specimen he received had sori so crowded that it appeared acrostichoid.

neg: Ophioglossum Ophioglossum, the adder's-tongue ferns, is a genus of about 25–30 species of ferns in the family Ophioglossaceae, of the order Ophioglossales. The name "Ophioglossum" comes from the Greek, and means "snake-tongue".

neg: Ecballium Ecballium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cucurbitaceae containing a single species, Ecballium elaterium, also called the squirting cucumber or exploding cucumber (but not to be confused with "Cyclanthera explodens"). It gets its unusual name from the fact that, when ripe, it squirts a stream of mucilaginous liquid containing its seeds, which can be seen with the naked eye. It is thus considered to have rapid plant movement.

neg: Isoetales Isoetales, formerly also written Isoëtales, is an order of plants in the class Isoetopsida. There are about 140-150 living species, all of which are classified in the genus "Isoetes" (quillworts), with a cosmopolitan distribution, but often scarce to rare. Living species are mostly aquatic or semi-aquatic, and are found in clear ponds and slowly moving streams. Each leaf is slender and broadens downward to a swollen base up to 5 mm wide where the leaves attach in clusters to a bulb-like, underground corm characteristic of most quillworts. This swollen base also contains male and female sporangia, protected by a thin, transparent covering (velum), which is used diagnostically to help identify quillwort species. Quillwort species are very difficult to distinguish by general appearance. The best way to identify them is by examining the megaspores under a microscope.

neg: History of Pachypodium The history of the genus Pachypodium as a scientific classification began in 1830, when the genus was first used in a taxonomical system by John D. Lindley, who placed a single species, "P. tuberosum", in it. Lindley believed that this species was identical with one identified in 1781 as "Echites succulenta", which would make "Pachypodium" a taxonomical synonym of "Echites".

neg: Ophiuros Ophiuros is a genus of Asia, Australian, and East African plants in the grass family.

neg: Epidendrum tridens Epidendrum tridens ("the three-toothed "Epidendrum"") is a terrestrial orchid closely allied to "E. nocturnum", of which it has often been considered a variety or synonym. For example, Reichenbach 1861 lists "Epidendrum tridens" as a synonym of "Epidendrum nocturnum" and "Epidendrum nocturnum" var. "latifolium" as a distinguishable variety of "Epidendrum nocturnum".

neg: Oxymitra Oxymitra is the only genus in the liverwort family Oxymitraceae, in the order Marchantiales. The genus includes two or three species.

neg: Epidendrum flexuosum Epidendrum flexuosum, a reed-stemmed "Epidendrum" common at mid-altitudes in Central America, is a species of orchid commonly called "Epidendrum imatophyllum". It grows exposed to intense sunlight in the forest canopy, particularly on "Guava" species. "E. flexuosum" bears non-resupinate lavender flowers on a congested raceme at the end of a long peduncle.

neg: Bulbophyllum oxychilum Bulbophyllum oxychilum is a species of orchid in the genus "Bulbophyllum".

This is partly because River lies in a steep chalk valley which affords little scope for further expansion. However, it is also true that the Dover area is historically not in the vanguard of high economic growth, being tied almost exclusively to the cross-channel port and various support industries, which have witnessed a gradual decline since the opening of the Channel Tunnel. In transport terms River is well connected, being close to the A2 and A20 trunk routes, having a railway station at Kearsney with direct services to London, and of course being only 3 mi from the Port of Dover itself.
