This checklist of Lesotho grasses begins with a tribute to Paseka Mafa and information about the herbarium of the National University of Lesotho. This is followed by an introduction to the flora and ecological zones of Lesotho, and the method followed to compile the checklist. Also included are two maps of Lesotho, which indicate the ecological and agricultural zones of the country. Guidelines for using the checklist are printed on the inside front cover for easy reference. A checklist of the grasses of Lesotho follows, based on the holdings of the National University of Lesotho Herbarium (ROML), Agricultural Research Herbarium (MASE) and Selmar Schonland Herbarium (GRA). The checklist comprises approximately 100 genera, which accounts for 250 indigenous and 50 naturalised alien species or infraspecific taxa. The book includes an alphabetical and a numerical index to genera.
