The young specimens of this are very like those of C. dives, 

 and I am not surprised that those who depend on hand-and-eye 

 sorting, and have not looked at the style, have mixed them. 

 In the mature G. alopecuroides the glumes fall early from the 

 lower part of the spikelet ; the stout tetragonous deeply-notched 

 rhachilla of Juncellus is then conspicuous, and the examples are 

 in this state easily sorted out by hand and eye. When I named 

 the English material, I had not learnt the value of this character ; 

 but, as I looked at the style in every specimen, I believe the above 

 list of numbers and localities must be right. I should, however, 

 add that I feel much less confident about the literature, which I 

 have been unable to go over again out here; some of the quota- 

 tions may belong, at least in part, to G. dives.
