The Poaceae (also called Gramineae or true grasses) are a large and nearly ubiquitous family of monocotyledonous flowering plants. Below is the floral formula along with the floral diagram for both male and female flowers.244-489_male-flower-floral-diagram-and-formula.jpeg244-460_female-flower-floral-diagram-and-formula.jpeg
