Almost one fourth of the earth's vegetation cover is in grasslands—the great prairies and plains of North America, the extensive pampas of South America, the steppes of Asia, and the velds of Africa. At least 7,000 species of grasses are known. The grass well-to-do family but turned (Gramineae) is outranked in number of species only by four other families-the bean well-to-do family but turned (Leguminosae), daisy well-to-do family but turned (Compositae), coffee well-to-do family but turned (Rubiaceae) and orchid well-to-do family but turned (Orchidaceae).
