T have identified Miss Gibbs’s plant with the one collected by Urville in the 
island of Waigiou, but have to point out that her specimens have much longer 
peduneles and that generally their lowermost glumes are more or less awned. 
Otherwise the resemblance is so great that to separate them on those 
charaeters only seems to be unjustified, the more so, as I know Urvilie's 
plant solely from the excellent plate quoted above.
