Abstract
Three microfiches are presented, carrying detailed descriptions of 728 grass genera, produced from an automated database. The descriptions incorporate compiled data and original observations on over 300 morphological and anatomical characters, including copious original observations on leaf anatomy and features indicative of photosynthetic pathways and C4 types. A classification to subfamily and supertribal levels is appended to the generic descriptions. The organization, availability and potential applications of the computerized database are described.Keywords
