graminoid

In contrast to the word graminoid, the words gramineous and graminaceous are normally used to mean "of, or relating to, the true grasses (Poaceae)".

Willdenowia affinis (The Table Mountain Window Reed, a graminoid)

A forb (sometimes spelled phorb) is a herbaceous flowering plant that is not a graminoid (grasses, sedges and rushes).

Humans, and grazing animals, were active participants in the process of prairie formation and the establishment of the diversity of graminoid and forbs species.

Mixed graminoid - forb panne Shallow depressions flooded for only for a brief time and are characterized by a variable mix of graminoids and forbs.

In a survey of alpine and unforested subalpine communities of the North Cascade Range in Washington and British Columbia, ribbed bog moss occurred in graminoid, forb, heath, and willow communities.
