Poaceae
|
The Poaceae is the grass family, an important and valuable group of plants with 770 genera and 9700 species. Grasses are important as cereal crops and provide pastureland for livestock. The family is widespread and covers much of the world's land surface.
Almost all grasses are non-succulent. However, the Southern African genus Dregeochloa has succulent leaves growing from a pachycaul rhizome and is of interest as a caudiciform plant.
