Grasses are the world’s most important plants. They are the dominant species over large parts of the earth’s land surface, a fact that is reflected in the many different words that exist for grasslands, words such as prairie, veldt, palouse, and pampas to mention just a few. As a group, grasses are of major ecological importance, as soil binders and providers of shelter and food for wild animals, both large and small. Some grasses, such as wheat, rice, corn, barley, rye, tef, and sugar cane are major sources of calories for humans and their livestock; others, primarily bamboos, are used for construction, tools, paper, and fabric. More recently, the seed catalogs that tantalize gardeners each winter have borne witness to an increasing appreciation of the aesthetic value of grasses. The Manual of Grasses for North America is designed as a successor to the classic volume by Hitchcock and Chase. It reflects current taxonomic thought and includes keys, illustrations, and distribution maps for the nearly 900 native and 400 introduced species that have been found in North America north of Mexico. In addition, it presents keys and illustrations for several species that are known only in cultivation or are of major agricultural significance, either as progenitors of bread wheat and corn or as a major threat to North American agriculture because of their ability to hybridize with crop species. The Manual of Grasses for North America is a major reference work for grasses that will retain its value for many years.

This volume, based on the definitive New Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary of Gardening (1992), defines and describes a fascinating group of plants through a unique fusion of what is current and best in botany and proven and practical in horticulture. The grass family offers gardeners an extraordinary variety of form and color with which to experiment. There are grasses for borders, poolsides, rock gardens, woodland settings and glasshouses. This book takes a broad view of the family, including the bamboos and other grass-like plants. It also gives richly deserved attention to the many sedges and rushes with horticultural appeal -- from the burnished bronze of Carex buchananii to the lofty papyrus. 100+ black and white drawings.
