he ability to identify grasses using vegetative features is a useful skill that is well worth acquiring. It can be used at any time of year, so that surveys can be carried out beyond the usual June-August flowering season. Vegetative features are an additional set of characters to investigate to complement flowering features when keying out grasses. Identifying grasses becomes much easier and more fun when carried out with the help of a tutor and other botanists.
This course will include:
-Have learned the vocabulary to describe the flowering parts and vegetative parts of grass
-Have the experience of using three different keys to identify a grass using vegetative features
-Having visited a variety of habitats you will associate certain species with certain habitats
-Know useful tips for recognising a selection of some of the commoner species of grasses
-If you wish you can go home with a small pressed collection of plants we have found
-Have been introduced to some indicator species
-If of interest, you may also have looked at some of the associated plant species including other monocots and mosses
