284 Dr. Sururu’s Obfervatious on the Britifo Species of Bromes, 
There is certainly great affinity between this f{pecies and the pre- 
ceding, and: they have, been, accordingly confounded, not only by 
Scopoli and Hudion,, who,have,anited feveral more diftin& {pecies 
into one, understhe,.name ,of, polymorphus, but alfo by moft other 
authors. Scheuchzer and the accurate Weigel have however dit 
tinguifhed them, and the characters above given ‘feem fufficient. 
The B. muitiflorus has more: numerous. florets, more clofely fet, and 
more frequently downy, though not snvauably fo. Both kinds, 
with fmooth glumes, are eoNounted in’ the collections of Buddle 
~ and Sherard, under the fynonym of;Ray:which belongs to the for- 
mer); as they are in' the herbarium of:Bobart under Mori. Seé. 8.. 
t.7. f. 16; but in the laft-mentioned the glumes of B. muliflorus, 
though not downy; all over; are rough.on the keel. |
