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 are presented of the abaxial and adaxial surfaces of the leaves of 26 East African species, comprising nine tribes of the subfamily Pooideae—Poeae, Bromeae, Brachypodieae, Triticeae, Meliceae, Aveneae, Phalarideae, Agrostideae, Stipeae.
