Glabrous (panicle branches minutely scabrous, hardly hairy). Rhizome woody, 
branched, with several approximate stems, Stems including infl. 8-18 in. Leaves 
numerous, scarcely 1 in. broad. — In/l. often occupying 2 the plant; lower peduncles 
exsert; bracts finely caudate, shorter or longer than inflorescence, Spikes 1—] in., 
4-8-nutted, comose from the long red style-branches. Fem. glumes ovate-triangular, 
not aristate, much shorter than utricle. Utricle Ae in., narrowed at both ends, 
red-marked, obscurely nerved. Nut stipitate, narrowed into the linear persistent 
style-base.—The exsert part of style-branches is longer than utricle, and longer than 
as shown in Boott’s picture. This species does not seem very closely allied to the S. 
Indian C. Lindleyana, &c. ; it should perhaps stand next C. vesiculosa, Boott.

Glabrous (except utrieles). Rhizome very tough, covered with black fibres of 
torn sheaths (it grows where the grass is burnt annually). Stems tufted, 6-18 in, 
eaves usually 3-6 in. by } in., not caudate. Infl. 6-10 by scarcely Z in.; upper 
Tacts about as long as infl. Heads of spikes 1-} in. diam., usually only one on 
each peduncle, but peduncles often 2 from one sheath. Fem. glume ovate-lanceolate, 
rown, often mucronate ; male glumes mucronate. Utricle fuscous brown, obscurely 
8-15-nerved.
