Grasses of Temperate Australia - A Field Guide

By C.A. Lamp, S.J. Forbes and J.W. Cade.

A Comprehensive Guide

While Grasses of Temperate Australia is a comprehensive field guide to grasses, it is also designed to introduce the amateur botanist to this interesting group of plants. The authors have selected over 100 grasses that impinge on our daily lives - species that we may use or, at least, see during our work or recreation.

The introductory chapters include a general discussion of the temperate region, the importance of grass, troublesome features of grasses, grassland and grass morphology and an illustrated guide to identification. The main body of the text comprises a detailed guide to individual grasses and is followed by a glossary, bibliography and index.

Illustrations of the grasses are colour line drawings.
