*A. verticillata X Castellana? 
Flores (1031, at Coste, 1033, along the Vea). 
Of the aspect of large specimens of the former and with its 
broad flat striate slightly scabrous leaves, oblong ligule, and puberu- 
lent outer glumes, but the inflorescence of more ample and open 
forms of the latter: empty glumes subequal, twice as long as the 
flower; palet nearly as long as the floweriug glume, which is 
erose and sub-biaristulate at top and with a straight dorsal awn 
of its own length arising shortly below the apex.— Plate 50.—A 
puzzling plant, agreeing closely with A. Simensis, Hochst. of 
Abyssinia, which, however, would be an extremely unlikely plant 
for the westernmost Azores.
