utricles, stolons long, leaves (all sub-basal) long, spikes 4-8 distant long- 
cylindric dense, 3-1 terminal male, style 3-fid, utricle ovoid-ellipsoid 
densely hairy, beak very short divided nearly to base into two lanceolate 
prickly teeth. Nees in Wight Contrib. (1834), 129; Kunth Enum. ii. 483;

Stems 6-30 in. Leaves often $ stem, i in. broad, sheaths often fimbriate. 
Spikes often 1} in.; terminal males pale rather thick, often 3-2, sometimes 6-4, 
rarely 1; fem. i in. thick, ashy, lowest often 3-7 in. distant on erect peduncle ; 
bracts usually overtopping infl. Fem. g/umes ovate, acute, often mucronate, fuscous, 
Shorter than utricles. Utricle (beak included) 1-1 in. long, 8-10-nerved; teeth 
of beak ultimately whitening spreading.—United with C. hirta, Linn., both by 
Boeckeler and Boissier; to which it is undoubtedly allied. C. hirta differs in the 
Sheaths (or the “ligules” at least) hairy, the male spike smaller, the utricles 
larger more acuminate into a longer beak.— C. Wallichiana, Boeck., was founded 
Partly on Falconer's n. 1164 which is C. ligulata, Nees.
