In developing a reference collection as a standard for using fossil grass cuticles as a paleoecological tool, we have examined leaf epidermal features of grasses using SEM. Descriptions (abaxial and adaxial surfaces) of 43 East African species are presented comprising three tribes: Arundinelleae, Isachneae, and Paniceae.
