inferior glume in the terminal spikelet of V. uniglumis-, once I 

 have seen it- nearly half as long as the superior glume, which 

 latter also, in the terminal spikelet of V. uniglumis, usually tapers 

 into a rounded membranous point instead of an awn. 



Parnell and Sowerby have drawn three stamens in the florets 

 both of Festuca Iromoides and of F. pseudo-myurus ; but this I 

 believe to be an error. Of our British Vulpice, only V. uniglumis 

 has three stamens; in the others I have constantly found one 

 stameu only. The figure of Festuca pseudo-myurus in ' English 

 Botany' (tab. 1412), is far from good ; the florets are too few, and 

 much too stout, which gives the figure a kind of resemblance to 

 V, uniglumis.
