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. Anatomical structures are described, and a system of categorizing diagnostic features is proposed. Descriptions (abaxial and adaxial surfaces) of 24 East African species are presented comprising ten tribes: Bambuseae, Olyreae, Phareae, Streptogyneae, Oryzeae, Phyllorhachideae, Ehrharteae, Arundineae, Danthonieae, and Centosteceae.
