C. panicea, in its younger ftate, is very like the young fpecimens 
. ef C. recurva; but it is at once diftinguifhed by the vagina.— 
In panicea the lowermoft vagina is full half the length of the 
footftalk, in recurva about one quarter only. It is diftinguifhable 
alfo by its alternate diftant capfules; in recurva they are crowded 
jn a thicker fpike.
