Dr. Smitu’s Odfervations on the Britifh Species of Bromus, 301% 
feabra, hinc canaliculato-comprefsa. ° Spicule 6 vel 7, alternz, 
fefliles, fecunde, non divaricatz, lineari-lanceolate, luteolo- 
virides plerumque pubefcentes. G/ume calycine inxquales, lan- 
ceolatz, brevits ariftate, nervofa, apicem versus hirte, Flofculi 
6 adg, imbricati, demiim patentiufculi, fubcylindrici, apicem versus 
precipué nervofi atque hirti. Aria terminalis, glumis plerum- 
que longior, fubulata, fcabra. Gluma interior linearis, retufa, 
' fetis ere€tis rigidis ciliata. 
The inner glume being ftrongly pectinated in this grafs and the 
following one, feems to me a fure indication of their being Bromi, and 
that any thing to the contrary in the infertion of the arifa, being 
in many fpecies very difficult to determine, and in fome variable, 
is of lefs real moment. In habit alfo thefe plants agree with other 
Bromi rather than with Fefuce, except indeed their perennial roots.
