The above description was taken from M‘Gillivray’s very good specimens, in R. 
Brown's the branches of the panicle are longer with a few 
those subtending the pedicels. I could not verify the internal structure of 
ovary, but to all appearance it was as in M'Gillivray's. The species is evidently 
quite distinct from 
5. A. gramineum, R. Br. Prod. 270.—Rarely quite glabrous, 
usually with a scabrous pubescence at least onthe leaf-sheaths an 
Some long hairs or cilia on the margins of the sheaths and base of the 
leaves. Fibrous roots often much thickened, almost tuberous. Radical 
leaves tufted, grass-like, with short broad sheaths, mostly 3 or 4 in. 
long, but in very luxuriant specimens at least twice that length, vary- 
Ing from 8 or 4 lines broad and tapering to a long point to very nar- 
long leaves dilated into short sheaths. Panicle very irregularly and 
loosely branched, rarely much longer than broad, often forked at the
