It describes 320 grasses and their habitat, features, similar species, uses, distribution, and names, and includes many color photos, maps, measurements, and introductory chapters of basic information on grain, ecology, grazing, soil erosion, veld management and fires, plant succession, sweet and sourveld, veld restoration, and cultivated pastures. Grasses are organized by the shape of the inflorescence. Distributed by African Books Collective. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
