‘grainineae’

(“poaceae” is a large + nearly ubiquitous family of monocotyledonous flowering plants known as ‘grasses’)

.

(‘poaceae’ includes the ‘cereal grasses’, ‘bamboos’, and the ‘grasses’ of natural grassland and cultivated lawns and pasture)

(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)

(with around 780 genera and around 12,000 species, Poaceae are the fifth-largest plant family, following the ‘Asteraceae’, ‘Orchidaceae’, ‘Fabaceae’, and ‘Rubiaceae’)

(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’)

(‘grasses’ are also an important part of the vegetation in many other habitats, including ‘wetlands’, ‘forests’, and ‘tundra’)

(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 forage, building materials (bamboo, thatch, straw) and fuel (‘ethanol’))

(though they are commonly called “grasses”, seagrasses, rushes, and sedges fall outside this family)

.

(the ‘rushes’ + ‘sedges’ are related to the ‘poaceae’, being members of the order ‘poales’, but the ‘seagrasses’ are members of order ‘alismatales’)
