PLANTS OF KOHIMA AND MUNEYPORE. 
many parts of Khasia, resembles somewhat maize at a distance. 
The inflorescence does not suit Rottboellia at all; but the glumes 
(and flowers altogether) are those of Rottboellia, not of Vossia. 
It might be made a new genus; but Mr. Bentham after consider- 
ation referred it to Rottboellia, though he omitted to widen the 
character of Hottboellia (in Gen. Pl.) so as to include it.

A. ASCINODIS, sp. nova. (Plate XXXVI.) 
Andropogoni Schoenantho affinis. Folia angustissima. Pani- 
cule bractex angustee, inconspicue ; inflorescentia Andropogonis 
Schenanthi. Spicarum rbachille (pedicellis spicularum mascu- 
larum similes) abbreviate, complanate, ascieformes, in lateribus 
ciliato-pilose. Glume inferiores longe tenuiter aristate, supe- 
riores oblong: emarginatee mutice. Palea inferior floris fertilis 
longissime robuste aristata ; palea inferior floris masculi glume 
inferiori similis.

Gen. Munro has admitted two or three species as distinct from 
A. Schenanthus, after combining many forms under A. Schenan- 
thus. One of these is A. Gidarba, Buch.-Ham. MS., a Simla 
grass, which in the narrow leaves and inconspicuous bracts re- 
sembles A. ascinodis; but it has the spicule much as of A. Sche- 
nanthus. A. ascinodis differs from A. Schenanthus (and all its 
allied forms or species) in the long awn to the lower glume, and 
the hatchet-like joints of the rhachille of the spikes.

. Gramen erectum, 2-4-pedale; nodi glabri. Folia angusta, 
sepe ciliato-villosa. Bracte® (de. folia summa) inflate, fere 
Oymbopogonis; peduncula longi, sepius 2-spicigeri. Gluma 
inferior longe tenuiter aristata, in humeris longe pilosa, superior 
oblonga emarginata mutica. Palea inferior floris fertilis longe 
robuste aristata; palea inferior floris masculi glume inferiori 
similis,—Andropogon n. 4, Hook. f. et T. Thoms.
