KwaweTuNG: Canton (Sampson, in herb. Hance, 14923 in 
part"). Mus. Brit. 
A distinct species of the subgenus Leptatherum, perhaps 
nearest to P. vagans, Nees, from which it is distinguished by 
the membranous hairy outermost glume, and imperfectly shortly 
awned fertile glume of the spikelet. 
Described from a few flowering eulms mixed with Pollinia 
imberbis from Canton (Sampson, in herb. Hance).
