shorter than the ghirae itself. Stamen 1, a little exceeding the glume; 

 filament filiform, glabrous ; anther small, linear-oblong, | mm. long. Style 

 erect, very slightly lower than the glume but very slightly exceeding it in 

 fruit, long, filiform, glabrous, somewhat bulbous at the base, persistent, 

 2-fid ; branches delicate, granular-papillose, shorter than the main portion 

 and also a little shorter than the matured caryopsis ; ovary oblong-cylin- 

 drical, smooth, pale, | mm. long, very shortly stipitate. Caryopsis about 

 otie-half as long as the glume (omitting the seta), oblong-cylindrical, some- 

 what compressed, nearly straight, smooth, but obscurely trabeculate under 

 microscope, yellowieh-ferruginous, about | mm. long, shortly stipitate, 

 provided with very shortly stipitate 1-5 pale verructe on each side.

This seems to be distinct from Flmhrisiylis dipsacea Benth. (= Scirpus 

 dipsaceiis Eottb. Descr. et Icon. PI. p. 56, tab. 12, fig. 1), as Maximowicz 

 thinks. Caryopsis is remarkable in having the curious verrucous append- 

 ages.
