Abstract/Contents:States that "turfgrass scientists and managers often rely on the vernation (orientation of the leaf within the sheath) to distinguish between turfgrass species," and provides a description of the seashore paspalum vernation. Mentions the potential for turfgrass species to be improperly identified, and explains that "by comparing photographs of various turfgrass vernation types, visual delineation of folded and rolled leaf bud orientation will provide a consensus." Includes photographs of vernation for multiple turf species, and concludes that "the use of the digital microscope has proven to be an indispensible [indispensable] tool for examining the minute morphological characteristics of turfgrass plants."
