Glume IV. . . Entire acute or Entire or micro- Bifid with 

 mucronate scopically bi- well deve- 



fid loped acute 



or linear 

 lobes 



Even X 20 I cannot find that Glume IV. in ' ' Maha-pangiri " 

 is ever bifid; the blades of the glume form a margin to the 

 muero or short awn, which is exerted beyond them. 



In " Lena-batu," the rib of the glume stops short with the 

 blades of the glume extended beyond it, or if there is a short 

 awn, the minute lobes are only distinguishable under a lens. 



In " Mana " in both awned and awnless varieties Glume IV. 

 is deeply bifid, lobes acute or subulate. 



Crushed leaves of all three are distinguishable by their scent.
