%X Nearly half species in the family Gramineae in Taiwan were examined anatomically. The Kranz syndrome based on leaf blade anatomy is characterized by the presence of Kranz sheath, the few number of maximum cells count and short interveinal distance. A preliminary checklist of C3 and C4 grasses in Taiwan was presented and determined by the non-Kranz or Kranz syndrome. Of 109 specied out of 150 species, were recognized as C4 and the others were assigned as C3. Some aspects of the above criteria in related to each subfamily were also described and discussed.
