These descriptions encompass the six tribes, 59 genera and 303 taxa
of specific and subspecific rank of the subfamily Pooideae currently
recognised in Australia. The database from which the descriptions have been
generated is under development, and part of the genus Bromus (tribe
Bromeae) and several species from tribe Aveneae are still to be
incorporated.
Some of the images referred to in the descriptions are not yet available.
The descriptions were generated from a DELTA database (Dallwitz 1980) by CONFOR (Dallwitz et al. 1993). The parts in bold-italic are diagnostic descriptions, generated by INTKEY (Dallwitz et al. 1993). The sub-specific descriptions marked `(Variant)' indicate how the sub-specific taxon differs from the species as a whole.
