This book was the first SABONET Poaceae Checklist to be published, and was compiled and edited by Christopher Chapano, a staff member of the National Herbarium and Botanic Garden of Zimbabwe.

A checklist of Zimbabwean grasses includes an introduction to the grass flora of Zimbabwe, a literature review, and a guide for using the checklist. Also included is a map of Zimbabwe with the major floristic regions clearly indicated. The checklist is based on the holdings of the National Herbarium of Zimbabwe (SRGH). The checklist comprises 152 genera, which accounts for 520 indigenous species and 20 naturalised alien species. Genera are listed in numerical order, and an alphabetical index makes it easy to find specific genera in the book.
