Tehé-fou? (in Mém. Soe. Sci. Nat. Cherbourg, xxiv. p. 271) as 
Festuca filiformis, Nees, ex Steud. Syn. Gram. p. 302, probably 
belongs here. 
Var. coreensis, Hack. Le, 
Corra: dry hills near Chinampo ( Faurie, S08, fide Hackel). 
I have not seen authoritative specimens of the forms which 
Hackel includes under this species, but judging from his deserip- 
tion I think the plants cited above must be placed here. They 
show a wider variation in size than indicated by Hackel. In 
Staunton's specimen the culms reach 2 feet in length, while the 
Formosa plants are not more than 6 inches higb.
