The station ' near Millbrook ' has reference to a curious form, differing 

 remarkably from the type in having only short scattered hairs on the 

 barren stem, with fewer prickles ; terminal and intermediate leaflets with 

 longer points. The panicle with fewer prickles on the upper branches, 

 but clothed with the usual very stiff" hairs. 



I have combined the type and var. h. vestitus. Dr. Focke attached 

 this latter name to a plant which Bloxam regarded as ' leucostachys,' and 

 Baker as ' good leucostachys. '
