Further Contribution to Bibliography of Grasses

The present work is a supplement to the bibliography of grasses published by Jain in 1961, and covers the period 1961-1970.

The family Poaceae is one of the largest, and the most widely distributed family of the world ; it includes the prime cereals and fodders of today, and is economically very important. Vast literature is, therefore, published on various aspects of the family.

The present bibliography has over 700 references, and includes publications on taxonomy, external morphology, nomenclature, ecology, phytogeography, utilisation and phylogeny. Some more important papers on biosystematics, such as cytotaxonomy, embryology, anatomy and palynology, and a few on agronomy and diseases of grasses are also included.

The references are arranged alphabetically by author names ; in case of joint authors, cross references are provided. A subject - and region-wise analysis is discussed.
