A Flora on Monocots of the University of the Philippines Manila Campus

Abstract

This is about the taxonomic survey of monocot plants in all the U.P. Manila colleges. Monocots were collected, identified, dried, and mounted in a white Bristol board for the purpose of constructing a herbarium. With regards to the specimens which were impractical to mount, photographs of the same were instead taken. Based on the survey conducted, it has been found that there are fifty-four (54) different species of monocots in existence within the boundaries of the U.P. Manila campus.
