Muhlenbergia sylvatica californica and M. glomerata brevifolia 
were published simultaneously by Dr. Vasey in 1882. In 1886 
the same author raised both these supposed varieties to specific 
rank, the first, M. sylvatica californica, he named M. Parishit, 
and the second, M. glomerata brevifolia, he called M. californica. 
The description which appears under M. glomerata brevifolia 
Vasey (Bot. Gaz. 7: 92.. 1882) is as follows: ‘‘Culms 1-2 ft. 
high, erect and leafy, leaves (5-8 on each culm) rigid, short and 
wide (2-4 in. long 2-3 lin. wide) somewhat scabrous; panicle 
spikelike, interrupted and with longer branches below; glumes 
and palets about equal in length (1 line); glumes acuminate, 
scabrous-puberulent; flowering glumes acuminate and tipped with 
an awn half its length or less, 3-nerved, pubescent below; palet 
acute about equaling the flowering glume.”’ : 
No types are mentioned by the author for either M. Parishu 
or M. californica, but they were both collected in San Bernardino 
County, California, by the Parish Brothers, in 1881, the first 
distributed under no. 1076 and the second under mo. 1028. The 
specimens so numbered in the National Herbarium must be re- 
garded as the types, 70. 1076 being the type of the species as here
