Gramineas de Bolivia

Bolivia has one of the most diverse floras in South America. The richness of plant life is largely due to the broad range of climate and topography which has produced a wide variety of habitats. The grass family has exploited all of these habitats with the result that 740 species are recorded for the country. Descriptions and keys to aid identification are provided for the genera and species and illustrations of over 80% of the taxa are included. Synonyms are listed under each species and information on world-wide distribution is provided; abbreviated ecological information is also included and representative specimens from Bolivia are listed.
