From tallgrass prairies to forested Ozarks to Mississippi lowlands, the state offers an array of grasses that can be classified into six subfamilies of the Poaceae, eighteen tribes, and eighty-seven genera.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSignificant changes have been made in grass classification since the first edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Grasses of Missouri\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 1961, resulting in an increased emphasis on phyletic criteria. Recognizing the recent advances in classification and changes in nomenclature, as well as new additions to the flora, this newly revised edition serves as a compilation of the native and naturalized species and subspecific taxa found in Missouri.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormerly divided into two subfamilies, the Festucoideae and Panicoideae, the state's grass flora is now represented by six subfamilies. While the Panicoideae have remained intact, the traditional Festucoideae are now separated into smaller, more cohesive groupings. Further revisions have resulted in eighteen tribes compared to the twelve identified in the first edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovering more than 275 species and subspecific entities, \u003ci\u003eThe Grasses of Missouri\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential research tool for identifying grasses, complete with working keys, descriptions, line drawings, distributions, a glossary, and a bibliography.
