Ab A. annulato (seu A. Ischamo, Roxb.) cui proxime accedit, differt : foliis angustioribus pilosis, nodis 

 culmi non pilis patentibus reflexisve sed mollioribus brevibus adpressisque cinctis, spicis brevioribus longms 

 pedunculatis, spiculis minoribus, 1J-1J lineas longis, qua illi 2J lin. longse, gluma inferiori 6-nec 8-nervi, basi 

 margineque pilis brevioribus vestita. Reliqua omnino ut in A. annulato. Ab A. obtuso, N. ab E. (qui A. 

 Bladhii, Roxb.) longius distat glumis nee multinerviis nee apice, ut in illo, obtusatis, turn vcro et spicis in 

 rhachi brevi approximatis, racemum abbreviatum fasciculi formem basi saepe vagina involutum exhibentibus 

 nee longiori tractu in culmi parte superiori dispositis.

 cbyis, axillis barbatis, rhachi pedicellisque ciliolatis ad genicula longius barbatis, spiculis 

 lanceolatis, gluma inferiori apice 6-8-nervia imperforata basi hirta, valvula inferiori floscuh 

 fertilis e basi lineari setigera, seta spicula multo longiori, [culmo infra nodos adpresse 

 barbatos hinc canalicular,] folio supremo convoluto-setaceo brevi scabro, ore vagina? 

 barbato. N. ab E. in Herb. Lindl. Q3, perfectior ; panicolee ramis subverticillatis patulis 

 flexuosis, inferioribus ramosis ramulis 1-2-stachvis, superioribus alternatim 8-2-stachyis.
