rigid, almost setaceous, exceeding the leaves in length; leaves 
somewhat stiff, acute, sheath loosely covered with long silky hairs; 
spikelets in many-rayed, compound umbels, the rays little shorter 
than the bracts. Flowers and achenes as in S. cafillaris, of which

at once distinguished by its more robust habit, the rigid stems and —
