Spiculz dense congeste in capitulum conico pyramidali, 
3-4 partitum. 
(An genus proprium, Cephaloscheno affine discrepans ab- 
sentià setarum et forme structuraque caryopsis ?) 
Ob structura ovarii par caryopseos spongiosa, minime 
pro perigynio habenda. Pars spongiosa cum "uu" certe 
continua, et altius currens. 
Roxburghii descriptio pre alios bona. Ovarium apice 
scabrellum, basi angulis 3 obtusis prominulis. De origine, 
partis cellulose dubito, in caryopsi immatura certe perigy- 
num videtur.
