%X &#948;13C values are presented for the 10 closely related species of the endemic Australian genera Thyridolepis, Paraneurachne and Neurachne (Poaceae). The three Thyridolepis species exhibit values typical of C3 plants, Paraneurachne muelleri of C4 plants. The genus Neurachne is variable; five species have C*3 values while N. munroi is typically C*4. These results generally confirm previous anatomical observations showing that Neurachne appears to contain both C3 and C4 species. N. minor, however, while having C3 &#948;13C values, has leaf anatomy which suggests it is C4. N. minor may be a C3/C4 intermediate.
