10 HENRIK PRINTZ [1916 



fect floret, which is beset with loiig hairs. The perfect floret 

 never reaches as high as the two male florets; as a rule il is 

 abt. 1 — 2 mm. shorter. 



Var. sochalineiisis is thiis distinctly divergent from the usual 

 East-Asiatic form, Hierochloe dahurica or (jlabra. in its large, 

 coarse growth, the strongly developed leaves on the fertile stem, 

 the very closed and rich inflorescence, which is not expanded, but 

 as a rule compressed, and further by the large spikelets with 

 the glumes 1 — 2 mm. longer than the pales. 



In contrast to the European form, which it somewhat 

 resembles in point of habitus, it is distinguished — apart from 

 the well developed leaves on the fertile shoots — by its smooth 

 pales only the margin of which is hirsute, and the close, long 

 liai,rs of the sheath, which are distinctly downward-pointing. 

 With regard to this last character, by the way, I have in the 

 collections of this species at the University of Christiania found 

 some few specimens from Norway with distinctly, albeit not very 

 prominently hirsute sheath, a feature which is said to have 

 proved constant for the latter on cultivation. In these Norwegian 

 specimens, moreover, the leaves were fairly markedly long-haired 

 on the upper side, which is not the case with var. sachalinensis. 

 The leaves of the latter, on the other hånd, are distinctly rough, 

 both on the upper and under side, being beset with series of 

 fine spines. 



Found in a moist meadow, where specimens with young 

 flowers were collected on the 27th May.
