1. Complete overview of the all grass species growing in Czechia. Additional overview of other important grass species of Central Europe. 2. The most important determation key characterics of Czech grass species, their ecological requirements, distribution in CZ and other important biologic characteristics. 3. Demonstration of herbarium specimens of Czech grass species. The attention is paid to getting familiar with the most distinct determination characters for selected plant species. In addition, general characteristics of particular species is presented as well (e.g. ecology, phytogeography, taxonomical and nomenclatorial issues, endangerement in CZ, karyology etc.). Content family Poaceae (grasses): especially species growing in Czechia and Slovakia, mainly of genera such as: Poa, Festuca, Bromus s.l., Stipa, Koeleria, Phleum, Sesleria, Melica, Avena s.l. (incl.
