In the obliquity of the glumes this has some affinity with 
Alopecurus. Kunth describes the stigmata as sessile; but 
this is merely owing to the coalescence of the styles into a 
thick white hairy cellular mass. This is seen most distinctly 
in Hordeum. The alternation and exterior situation of the 
lodicule is well seen in this genus. It. Ass. 453.
