Graminew. This genus is closely allied to Festuca, from 
which it differs in that the spikelets are densely crowded 
in thick, one-sided clusters, arranged in an irregular short 
spike or slightly-branched panicle. The only species is 
that described below; it is one of the best and strongest- · 
growing kinds of our native grasses, and is well adapted hi 
for sowing alone on marshy land. Mi. ;

species, for the most part natives of Africa. Spikelets 
several-flowered, with the uppermost flower imperfect, 
crowded on one side of a flattened rachis, forming dense — . 
pectinate spikes two to five in number, digitate at the P 
summit of the culm; glumes compressed, keeled, and 
sub-herbaceous, the exterior one cupsidate. Тһе spe
