Abstract
THE botanical analysis of pastures by means of quadrats should combine both speed and accuracy. Up to the present, the rapid methods have been somewhat subjective, and in many cases the results obtained cannot be compared closely owing to variation in the personal factor. The more intensive objective analyses, on the other hand, have sacrificed speed to greater accuracy. The following method of quadrat charting has accordingly been devised in order to secure both speed and accuracy, and is of special value in the charting of open tufted swards such as those commonly found in South Africa.
