| Abstract/Contents: | A descriptive guide to the identification of 51 grasses by vegetative features alone. The first phase is a dichotomous color and characteristics key; the second is the description of the vegetative structure of the species; and the third (and most reliable) is using the cross-sectional anatomy of the leaf.

| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "A small booklet on the identification of grasses, primarily by means of leaf blade cross sections, which are illustrated by detailed photomicrographs. A technique for cutting transverse sections of grass leaves is presented in the appendix along with a small glossary and short bibliography. Emphasis is on cool-season turfgrasses found in the United Kingdom. A unique booklet based on the authors PhD thesis completed in 1935 at the University of Edinburgh." p. 408 |
