Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Grasses and Grasslands of South Africa
I have to express my indebtedness to Mr. C. G. Smith, of Durban, who has made a generous grant towards the cost of publication.
To two of my students, Miss M. Batchelor and Miss K. Jameson, my thanks are also due for doing most of the work in connection with the preparation of the illustrations. The map was prepared by Mr. R. W'alker.
It is too much to expect that a work of this kind will be free from mistakes, and I hope that readers will help me by pointing out any corrections that should be made, or by offer ing suggestions for the improvement of the key.
Since, in the key to the species, and in the section of ecological notes the genera are arranged alphabetically, and a full table of contents is given for the sections dealing with the plant succession and economic applications, it has not been thought necessary to add an index.
