 The panicle is close, simple. The upper branches 

 are close, in a sort of umbel, arching. The 

 flower-stalks are short, broad above, woolly-felted, 

 glandular, hairy. The phyllaries nearly meet to- 

 gether and are broad, lance-shaped, linear, blunt, 

 the innermost acute, woolly -felted, the borders 

 white, woolly-felted, senescent, glandular, hairy. 

 The ligules are fringed with hair. The styles
