Burma image, WAP0014. Grasses in the sunlight from near Tingpai.
"Past work on the grasses of Burma has been almost entirely due to the sole efforts of the numerous Forest officers who have been nearly the sole collectors of plants in Burma. In a country whose life and well being is so intimately bound up with its crops and its vegetation it is a curious reflection how little has been done to study its plant life systematically. Outside one Department of Government almost nothing has been done and even in that Department the collections and the publications of results show a strong bias towards the larger species to the relative neglect of the smaller. This is reflected on the collections by the preponderance of bamboos in the greater amount of critical systematic study devoted to that tribe compared to the smaller grasses. Further, it can be ascertained from a study of the density of the collections from different areas just where the economically valuable timber trees grow and where, therefore, Forest Officers tour frequently. There is a noticeable lack of collections from places of little economic interests such as, for example, the Chin Hills (c.f.: the numerous collections from the neighbouring Naga and Khasis hills) and the eastern Shan States (c.f.: the Chiangmai area of Siam)." ['The Grasses of Burma', D. Rhind, Calcutta, 1945]
