This book is the happy result of a collaboration between scientists working in Australia and China. It combines taxonomic and descriptive skills with computer methodology, automated key making and databass applications.
China has a rich grass flora – some 213 genera and 1124 species, according to the researches of one of authors, Mr. XU ZHU – so that this account of the grass genera of China, employing automated descriptions and keys, will be major contribution to the literature and a useful tool ofr both pure and applied plant scientists. It constitutes , in effect, part of a series of account of grass genera of different parts of the world in the preparation of which Drs Watson and Dallwitz have been engaged.
