Dr M’s Poaceae quiz – Part the First: a family of grasses green and wonderful!

Ah, the English Summer, that time of uncertain sunshine and certain hay fever!

Hay fever or not, regular visitor to these pages will know that Dr M is particularly fond of grasses – or Poaceae or Graminea or whatever you like to call them!

And to celebrate all that is green wonderful Dr M’s first Poaceae ID quiz is coming to these pages – though, in truth, as of now, July 2015, most grasses are looking rather orangeish, but still wonderful of course!

Part the First is here:

Many of the commoner genera listed there, as well as some of the less common ones, will feature in Dr M Poaceae quiz Part the Second – coming here soon:
