per Australiam orientalem ab oris. Australice borealibus niigrat. 



Variat spicis duabus et pcrmultis sicut geniculis barbatirf. A. 



Panormitanus (Parlatore in Diario del Nono Congresso degli 



, Scienziati in Venezia 1847 ; A. angustifolius, Presl. Cyper. et 



Gram. Sicul. p. 54) admodum similis A. iutermedio. Cb Thwaite;s 

 attentionem direxit ad magnam affinitatem A. scandentis (Koxb. 

 Flor. Ind. edit Wallich, i. 262). A. insculptus (Hochstctter ia 

 Steud. Glum, i, 380) et A. bifoveolatus (Steud. 1, c.) ex Abjssinia 

 et Madras fortasse varietatibus A. pertusi adnumcrandi sunt.

investigandus restat. A. annulatus noster variat : monostachyus, 

 spica singula caulem terminante ; porro ; polystachyus, spicis 

 nuraerosis (usque40) infasciculum terminalem junctis ; haec ultima
