Description:

An unexpectedly large proportion of C4 grasses was found in a moderately temperate and moist Himalayan location during monsoon period. 79 % of total grasses occurring in the area were found to be C4. Several grasses hitberto unreported as C4 háve now been recorded. The principál cause for the natural abundance of C4 species is presumably low atmospheric CO2 levels rallua' tlian the aridity and warmer temperatures. The finding adds a new dimension to our knowledge of natural distribution of the C4 species.
