 covering the ground. Leaves very short and

*M. . River bank, Osawatomie. Mr. 



Wood cannot find the name. He thus describes 

 it: "Slender, glabrous, branching, one foot high ; 

 panicle erect, capillary, loose, branches in 3s and 

 5s, whorled. Spikelet scarcely 1" long, much 

 shorter than their pedicels. Glumes jyointed, 

 rough on the keel, the upper one shorter, but longer 

 than the two equal obtuse Z-veined poles, which have 

 a few short beards at their base. Comes nearest 

 to M. Mexicana, but is decidedly different by the 

 characters italicized."
