Description
“The first opportunity for both the native plant enthusiast and professional botanist to tackle the difficult circle of relatives–presented in any such manner that it is going to make identifying the grasses a pleasure!”–Paul Martin Brown, editor, North American Native Orchid Journal
“A unique and important work for you to lend a hand many in identifying and appreciating an extremely important but challenging group of plants”–Paul A. Schmalzer, plant ecologist, Kennedy Space Center
Grasses comprise approximately a third of the Earth’s vegetative cover and, as a group, have a much broader distribution than every other plant circle of relatives. From wheat, rice, and sugarcane to bamboo and bermudagrass, humans have depended on grasses as sources of food, food for animals, lawns, and construction material for millennia.
A Guide to Florida Grasses offers an introduction to this vital and regularly neglected plant circle of relatives. This richly illustrated reference includes complete details pertaining to the identification, structure, distribution, and uses of more than 200 of the most typical grasses found in Florida and nearby states.
With over 500 color images–some picturing species that have never been described with a published image–accurately identifying and selecting members of this important plant circle of relatives has never been easier. Environmentalists, hikers, and nature lovers can take this book into the field or enjoy it at home. A Guide to Florida Grasses will be accessible and invaluable to professional botanists, commercial landscapers, homeowners, and plant enthusiasts alike.
