Reported by Hitchcock, on the basis of one of the A. H. Curtiss 

 specimens from Nueva Gerona, collected in 1904, and now in the 

 herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden. The variety differs 

 from the species in having a "scarcely pilose rachis and oblong-obo- 

 vate, acute, glabrous spikelets."- — Hitchcock.
