Checklist of Kilimanjaro grasses shows that both plot and herbarium methods are necessary to record diversity

We present a checklist of the Poaceae of Mount Kilimanjaro compiled from two datasets: records from 1646 plots of 0.1ha each made since the 1990s, as well as all the specimens held at K and NHT herbaria.
