(Microchloa setacea R. Br., has been reported from the Philippines by F.-Villar 

 Nov. App. (1883) 319, but his record has not been verified. As the species is 

 widely distributed in the tropics of both hemispheres, it is to be expected in 



the Philippines.)

Empty ginmes narrow, very acute; flowering glumes usually 3-cleft, 

 frequently ciliate, one to several empty glumes above the flowering 

 o-lumes which are usually broadly truncate and often awned.
