Flora of North America brings together for the first time ever in a
concise and easy to understand format information on all of the
plants growing spontaneously in North America north of Mexico.
Volume 24 of Flora North America is one of two volumes on grasses
to be published in this series (Volume 25, though it follows
sequentially, was published in 2003). Together they will provide a
comprehensive, authoritative, illustrated account of this important
group of plants. Most of the species treated are either native to
North America north of Mexico or are introduced species that are
now established in the region, but there are many that do not fit
into these categories. Among the additional species are several
that the USDA has identified as major weed threats; and others that
are known only as cultivated plants, some being cultivated for
their ornamental value, others as sources for human food or animal
forage. For instance, volume 24 includes such ecologically
important genera as Elymus (wheatgrasses), Poa (bluegrasses), and
Festuca (fescues), economically important species such as Triticum
(wheat), Hordeum (barley), Oryza (rice), and Zizania (wild rice),
several ornamental species, including some bamboos, and noxious
weeds such as Elymus repens (quackgrass), and Bromus tectorum
(cheatgrass).
The volume includes identification keys, descriptions, line
drawings, and ecological characteristics for each of the species;
distribution maps for the native and established species; and a
list of commonly encountered synonyms for the accepted names. The
treatments, each of which has been extensively reviewed, are based
on a combination of original observations and critical review of
the literature.
