Botswana boasts a magnificent number of grass species: approximately 400 species, representing 94 genera, have been recorded. This constitutes nearly half of the grasses found in southern Africa. Genera and species in the checklist are listed in alphabetical order, and distribution information for each taxon is included.

This checklist was compiled using the grass collections housed in Botswana herbaria, namely the National Herbarium (GAB) and the University of Botswana Herbarium (UCBG) in Gaborone, and the Peter Smith Herbarium (PSUB) in Maun. In some cases specimens of some species recorded for Botswana were recorded only in herbaria outside Botswana. These are housed at either the National Herbarum and Botanic Garden, Harare (SRGH), National Herbarium, Pretoria (PRE), and the Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (K).
