Phylogeny; systematics and classifications; morpholgy and anatomy; developmental and evolutionary processes; reproductive biology; biochemical diversity; macromolecular studies; biogeography.
A companion volume to this work is also available. "Monocots: Systematics and Evolution" is a selection of papers from the proceedings of the Second International Conference on the Comparative Biology of the Monocotyledons. It covers the non-grass monocotyledons.

"These proceedings provide a timely synthesis of the progress achieved in grass evolutionary biology over the past 13 years, a period that has seen the greatest leaps in understanding the relationships among living things, including grasses. ... Overall, care was taken to include contributions, including several fine reviews, from many of the major contributors to the field on tropics that integrate evolutionary pattern (phylogeny) with morphology, geography, ecology and reproductive biology." --M.S. Mayer (CHOICE January 2001)
