In heathy, sandy, rather mountainous places, y in shady groves. 



Perennial. July. 



Root of many long and strong fibres, woolly in sandy ground. Stem 

 12 or 18 inches high, erect, slender, smooth, leafy at the base; 

 naked above. Leaves short, slender, truly awl-shaped, or bristle- 

 shaped j in (3 and y they are much longer, capillary, more co- 

 pious, somewhat glaucous, and roughish, reaching a good way 

 up the stem. Panicle loose, erect, divided in a threefold man- 

 ner, that is, with only opposite branches ; the branches and 

 stalks very slender, wavy or zigzag, angular, roughish ; in /3 

 and y less wavy and less regularly ternate. Glumes of a shining 

 copper-colour in general, with membranous edges ; in /S and y 

 much paler, or greenish. Awn bent and twisting, twice as long 

 as the calyx. Nectary deeply divided, full as long as the germen. 

 Styles spreading, with distant, oblong, feathery stigmas. 



(d has some marks of a distinct species, in the extreme slenderness, 

 and slight roughness, of its leaves, as well as in the more irre- 

 gular disposition, and greater straightness, of the branches of 

 its panicle. Nor is its pale colour owing to want of air or 

 light. Yet the Jlexuosa varies too much to allow of the esta- 

 blishment of a decisive difference. A. montana of Linnaeus is 

 very different, with broader leaves, and much smaller Jlowers, in 

 a more compact panicle. It was not known to Mr. Hudson. 



6. A. canescens. Grey Hair-grass. 



Panicle rather dense. Florets shorter than the calyx. Awn 

 club-shaped, not longer; hairy at the joint. Leaves 

 bristle-shaped.
