Burma image, WA0434. Kinf grass on the banks of the Chindwin. P.R.
'Apart from the cultivated cereals the grasses of Burma play an important part in feeding the cattle population but are otherwise of small direct economic value. They are important as soil binders on sloping ground particularly in the hills where rainfall is high. A few are used for thatch and two or three for the oils they yield, but taken as a whole they enter into the trade of the country to only a small extent apart from their use as fodder. A special type of grass formation occurs along the rivers of the plains where extensive sand and silt deposits are laud down by the big rivers. On these deposits 'Saccharum spontaneum' is often the first coloniser, binding the soil and, if prolonged inundation does not recur frequently, is the precursor of other species leading to a seral type of savannah' ['The Grasses of Burma', D. Rhind, Calcutta, 1945, pp.3-5]
