About this book

The Photographic Field Guide to the Grasses of Madagascar is the first photographic compilation of information on Madagascar's Poaceae, featuring around half of the known species. Compiled by a team of Malagasy and international botanists lead by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Kew Madagascar, and partner institutions, it consolidates expert-generated and expert-verifified information in Malagasy and English. This book contains information on 269 species of grasses, with a general introduction and an index to Malagasy common names as well as Latin names. Researchers are continuing the considerable work of assessing the current biodiversity, distribution, uses, and evolution of the grasses of Madagascar.
