Poaceae
Poaceae or Gramineae is a family in the Class
Liliopsida of the
flowering plants. Plants of this family are usually called
grasses. There are about 600
genera and between 9,000-10,000
species of grasses (Kew Index of World Grass Species). Plant communities dominated by Poaceae are called
grasslands; it is estimated that grasslands comprise 20% of the vegetation cover of the earth. This family is the most important of all plant families to human economies: it includes the staple
food grains grown around the world, lawn and forage grasses, and
bamboo, widely used for construction throughout
Asia.
