52 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 



quadriflora panicula subcoarotata, spiculis quadrifloris, 



1. floribus seta longa terminatis. 



Probably Festuca sciurea Nutt. Michaux and Elliott 

 erroneously refer this to F. myuroslj^ for which both of 

 them mistook F. sciurea Nutt. 



octoflora 2. panicula erecta, spiculis octofloris aeutni- 



natis. 



Michaux refers this doubtfully to F. bromoides L. 

 The name has been taken up to replace the later F. 

 tenella Wilid. 



mxdtijiora 3. repens, paniculis erectis ovatis, spiculis 8 ad 



40-floris, acutis, foliis angustis, acutis, 

 fauce subplumosis. 



Probably Leptochloa fascicular is (Festuca polystachya 

 Michx., F. procumbens Muhl.) as indicated by Elliott, 

 who remarks that the descriptions do not agree exactly . 



46. Bromus. Cal. 2-valvis. Spicula oblonga teres dis- 



ticha, arista infra apicem. 

 ciliatus 1. panicula nutante foliis utrinque vaginisque 



subpilosis, glumis corollinis valde pilosis, 



calycinis nudis. 



No specimen in the herbarium. The description 

 agrees with the plant now known by this name. To 

 Linnaeus' description Walter has added all after 

 " glumis" in place of " ciliatis." 



47. Avena. Cal. 2-valvis, multiflorus, arista dorsali con- 



torta. 

 caroliniana panicula attenuata.
