Abstract:
The family Poaceae has attracted considerable attention due to its economic importance and diversity. However, the flora of Goa state has not been studied well due to its historical isolation , till 1961. The floras published on Goa (Dalgado 1898, Vartak 1966, Rao 1985,1986) are not complete. Many species reported by them were collected outside the state of Goa. We report 24 additional grass species from Goa.
