small, transverse, provided on the inner face with an erect fleshy linear very 
acute ligule, with inflexed margins, adorned at the base on each side with a small 
scale or gland.” ‘The variety longipes, Schlechter, in Engl. Jahrb. xviii. Beibl. 
45, 29, is merely a form with the lower peduncles nearly as long as the leaves.
