53. C. leptocarpus, C. B. Clarke; leaves subbasal very long, infi. 
elongate, partial panicles distant long-peduncled pyramidal compound thin, 
spikes 4 in. distant 3-6-nutted, style 3-fid, utricle very distant ellipsoid 
tapering-lanceolate much recurved strongly-nerved glabrous greenish, 
beak linear conic 2 utricle.

Glabrous (paniele branches minutely scabrous hairy). Stems 2-3 ft., stont. 
Leaves as long as stem, 4—4 in. broad, harsh, two lateral nerves conspicuous, Infl. 
1-1} foot ; lowest peduncle exsert, 6 in. ; partial panicles 3 by 24 in. ; bracteoles 4 in., 
filiform. Young spikelets linear, pale-brown ; ripe spikelets rather wide from the 
strongly divaricate utricles. Fem. glumes elliptic-lanceolate, mostly bristle-pointed. 
Utricles 2-2. in, apart, des in. long, slender (not well ripe).—From the remote 
utricles this species does not resemble any of the other allies of C. cruciata, Wahl.

A nearly glabrous form, branches of panicle only minutely scabrous on angles. 
tricle nearly à in., ellipsoid-trigonous, 15-nerved, glabrous, pale, tapering into 
oblique linear beak about as long as utricle.— Hardly differs from the Madras C. 
icing, growing with it, but by the pale ferruginous-green colour, the rather larger 
utricles, and (especially) the definitely aristate female glumes, C. ramosa, Schkur, 
a Mauritius plant, with which Boott combined it, has hairy utricles and distant 
spikelets laxly panicled.

629) ; Anamallays, Beddome.—This has been greatly confused, having, on account 
of its number (Hohenacker, n. 629) been taken in Herb. Kew for C. glaucina, Boeck., 
and “ written up ” accordingly. But Boeckeler's C. glaucina is founded on W ight, 
n. 1293 = Boott, tab. 322, which is not exactly = Hohenacker n. 629; but here is 
treated as a form of it.
