 ceeding the acladium. The heads are cylindric, 

 egg-shaped, medium or small. The stalks are

 linear or lance-shaped. The panicle is in a sort 

 of umbel, with 1-2 distant lower, erect, branches, 

 1-2-headed, the upper branches or stalks aggre- 

 g.ite (hence aggregalum), spreading, ascending or 

 erect, exceeding the acladium. The stalks are 

 long, erect, woolly-felted. The 4-10 heads are 

 dark-green, rounded, egg-shaped. The phyl- 

 laries meet together in bud, and are awl-like, 

 lance-shaped, blunt, the inner linear, lance-shaped,
