| Remember Wally Wheat, he's a cereal. Cereals are members of the grass family, called the Graminae. They are the most economically important of all the plant families. This family includes wheat, rice, corn, barley and rye. It includes all the grasses which are used for lawns and golf courses and also includes some of the world's worst weeds. | |
