Abstract
The greater part of the world's food is obtained at present, directly or indirectly, from the grasses and plants closely related to them. Classification of the various members of the group serves to underline the many changes that have brought them to their present state—changes that have ensured adaptability to diverse, even extreme, terrestrial conditions. Such plasticity may well be manipulated, and turned to economic advantage.
