Notes

Includes index.

In developing a reference collection as a standard for using fossil grass cuticles as a paleoecological tool, we have examined leaf epidermal features of grasses with SEM. Descriptions (abaxial and adaxial surfaces) of 49 East African species are presented that represent seven tribes: Aristideae, Pappophoreae, Eragrostideae, Chlorideae, Sporoboleae, Leptureae, Zoysieae.
