 B. (Eutriana) racemosa, except in the pubescent lower palea, and the minute

 or not is very difficult to determine from his brief character. It certainly is 

 very different from B. racemosa of the United States, which has a large, three- 

 awned neuter flower, and if distinct from Lagasca's, must receive another 

 name. That of B. curtipendula would be appropriate." Chloris curtipendula,
