4. M. paniceus Vahl. 
Glumes cream coloured. 
Clarke (in Fl. Brit. Ind.) states, apparently correctly, that the nut

Rottboell’s figure is quite good for our plant; his type was collected

Hooker’s statement that the spikelets are ‘‘ almost golden-yellow "’ 
probably refers to Clarke’s variety evolutior. They were bright green
