List of Poaceae of South Africa Last updated November 28, 2024 List of flowering plants in the family Poaceae recorded from South Africa
Poaceae or Gramineae is a large and nearly ubiquitous family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the order Poales , known as grasses . With around 780 genera and around 12,000 species, [1] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family , following the Asteraceae , Orchidaceae , Fabaceae and Rubiaceae . [2]
The Poaceae are the most economically important plant family, providing staple foods from domesticated cereal crops such as maize , wheat , rice , barley , and millet as well as feed for meat-producing animals. They provide, through direct human consumption, just over one-half (51%) of all dietary energy. Some members of the Poaceae are used as building materials (bamboo , thatch , and straw ); others can provide a source of biofuel , primarily via the conversion of maize to ethanol . Grasses have stems that are hollow except at the nodes and narrow alternate leaves borne in two ranks. The lower part of each leaf encloses the stem, forming a leaf-sheath. The leaf grows from the base of the blade, an adaptation allowing it to cope with frequent grazing.
Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant are estimated to constitute 40.5% of the land area of the Earth , excluding Greenland and Antarctica . [3] Grasses are also an important part of the vegetation in many other habitats, including wetlands , forests and tundra .
23,420 species of vascular plant have been recorded in South Africa, making it the sixth most species-rich country in the world and the most species-rich country on the African continent. Of these, 153 species are considered to be threatened. [4] Nine biomes have been described in South Africa: Fynbos , Succulent Karoo , desert , Nama Karoo , grassland , savanna , Albany thickets , the Indian Ocean coastal belt , and forests . [5]
The 2018 South African National Biodiversity Institute 's National Biodiversity Assessment plant checklist lists 35,130 taxa in the phyla Anthocerotophyta (hornworts (6)), Anthophyta (flowering plants (33534)), Bryophyta (mosses (685)), Cycadophyta (cycads (42)), Lycopodiophyta (Lycophytes(45)), Marchantiophyta (liverworts (376)), Pinophyta (conifers (33)), and Pteridophyta (cryptogams (408)). [6]
206 genera are represented in the literature. [6] Listed taxa include species , subspecies , varieties , and forms as recorded, some of which have subsequently been allocated to other taxa as synonyms , in which cases the accepted taxon is appended to the listing. Multiple entries under alternative names reflect taxonomic revision over time.
