There are 19 genera, 18 of which are placed in tribe Danthonieae, while one is as yet unplaced (incertae sedis). The relationships within the group are complicated; conflicting phylogenetic evidence from nuclear and chloroplast DNA suggests that hybridisation events played an important role in the Danthonioideae.

  • incertae sedis:
    Danthonidium
  • tribe Danthonieae:
    Austroderia, Capeochloa, Chaetobromus, Chimaerochloa, Chionochloa, Cortaderia (syn. Lamprothyrsus), Danthonia, Geochloa, Merxmuellera, Notochloe, Pentameris (syn. Pentaschistis, Poagrostis, Prionanthium), Phaenanthoecium, Plinthanthesis, Pseudopentameris, Rytidosperma (syn. Austrodanthonia, Monostachya, Notodanthonia, Pyrrhantherea), Schismus (syn. Karroochloa), Tenaxia, Tribolium
