Stan nearly as tall as the last, but much more slender ; often 

 branched at the bottom. Leaves linear-lanceolate, with a sharp 

 taper point, roughish j a little glaucous underneath. Sheaths 

 striated, scarcely rough, except the long upper one. Stipula lan- 

 ceolate, acute, thin, soon torn. Panicle smaller, closer, more 

 erect, and of a brighter purplish hue than in the last ; the 

 branches rough, spreading when in flower only, beset with nu- 

 merous, crowded flowers, directed to one side. Calyx-valves 

 nearly equal, rough at the keel. Outer valve of the corolla about 

 half as long as the calyx, membranous, flat, with 2 rough mar- 

 ginal ribs at each side, and cloven at the point 5 bearing from 

 its back, about the middle, a twisting inflexed awn, which rises 

 as high as the points of the calyx 3 inner valve much smaller, 

 slightly cloven. The soft hairs, originating from the base of each 

 valve of the corolla, nearly surround the whole^oref, and are 

 about as long as the calyx, or finally somewhat longer, when 

 they carry away the ripe seed. 



Linnaeus by mistake interchanged Scheuchzer's synonyms of this 

 and A. Calamagrostis ; and thus some botanists, who trusted to 

 his citations, rather than to his definitions and characters, were, 

 as in other instances, misled. 



3. A. Calamagrostis. Small Reed. 



Calyx single-flowered, much exceeding the corolla. Panicle 

 erect, loose. Flowers scattered, spreading every way. 

 Awn terminal, short. Hairs longer than the corolla. 

 Leaves linear.
