and the sheaths glabrous at the top. The ligule is short, the 
fertile glume and palea are equal in length and hardly shorter 
than the barren glumes ; the spikelets are barely 2 lines long.

Characterized by its robust habit, very long broad leaves with 
hairy sheaths and short ligules, and long slender dense panicles. 
Evidently very near Calamagrostis robusta, Franchet et Savat., 
which from the description resembles it in habit, size of spikelets, 
&c., but is described as having a ligule nearly 1 em. long, and a 
very minute oblong glabrous (?) rudiment of a second flower.
