  The 
  plants 
  in 
  Herb. 
  Swartzii 
  agree 
  rather 
  Avell 
  

   witli 
  Bailey's 
  description; 
  yet, 
  there 
  are 
  rnany 
  specimens 
  (from 
  

   Mexico, 
  West 
  Indies 
  etc), 
  which 
  prove, 
  that 
  the 
  fulvous 
  (or 
  

   reddish) 
  colour 
  of 
  the 
  spikes 
  may 
  be 
  very 
  intense 
  in 
  both 
  

   species; 
  that 
  the 
  culm 
  is 
  not 
  more 
  »strict» 
  in 
  y>x)olystac}uja\ 
  

   but 
  commonly 
  more 
  robust 
  at 
  the 
  base; 
  that 
  the 
  spikelets 
  are 
  

   sometimes 
  not 
  more 
  crowded 
  in 
  the 
  one 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  other; 
  and 
  

   that 
  the 
  name 
  äpolystachya^ 
  not 
  always 
  is 
  justified 
  by 
  a 
  set 
  

   of 
  »more 
  nnmerons 
  spikes». 
  

  

  The 
  specimens, 
  collected 
  by 
  Mosén 
  in 
  Minas 
  Geraes 
  are 
  

   very 
  tall, 
  the 
  culm 
  1,25 
  m 
  high; 
  the 
  leaves 
  are 
  extraordinary 
  

   broad, 
  8 
  — 
  10 
  mm, 
  and 
  0,75 
  m 
  in 
  length; 
  the 
  racemes 
  are 
  very 
  

   short, 
  only 
  2 
  — 
  2,5 
  cm, 
  the 
  spikelets 
  short, 
  wben 
  ripe 
  roundish 
  

   and 
  densely 
  crowded, 
  the 
  racemes 
  getting 
  at 
  last 
  a 
  nearly 
  

   ovate 
  shape; 
  the 
  utricle 
  is 
  obliqnely 
  ovate, 
  3

  4 
  mm 
  in 
  length, 
  

   with 
  a 
  rostrum 
  1 
  mm 
  long; 
  the 
  nut 
  is 
  ovate, 
  brownish 
  green,
