Last updated in 1959, the book now has been thoroughly revised to reflect current scientific knowledge, nomenclature, and classification. Divided into twelve lessons, the guide first surveys the basic vegetative and reproductive parts of a grass plant, then in succeeding lessons takes up increasingly more complex modifications. Formally recognized groups of grasses are discussed in a taxonomic context, with the principal focus on grass structures, particularly those of inflorescences and spikelets. Virtually all of the species discussed are illustrated with detailed line drawings. With the addition in this edition of a lesson on bamboos, coverage now extends to tropical regions and encompasses all major groups of grasses. The book also includes a short biography of Agnes Chase in the foreword and, for the first time in this edition, a glossary accompanies the appendices on grass classification.

Store description
We owned and operated The Looking Glass Bookstore in downtown Portland, Oregon for thirty years. Our citations on this site are the accumulation of first editions, small press, galleys, letter press, and other interesting books and ephemera that we set aside over those years. Almost everything we saved was new, added to boxes that were sealed and kept until now. If you're looking for a particular item please let us know.
