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 with SEM. Descriptions (abaxial and adaxial surfaces) of 47 East African species are presented, comprising two tribes, Andropogoneae and Maydeae. Representative species of 13 genera found in tropical West Africa but not East Africa are described in the supplement.
