ANl)ROPOGONE^E 1 57 



Spikelets are shorter than the sessile but with a shorter awn. The 

 glumes are similar to those of the sessile spikelet ; sometimes these 

 spikelets are imperfect or even reduced to a single glume. 



This grass grows well in black cotton soils and sometimes it 

 gets very well established and then it is very difficult to eradicate 

 it. Cattle seem to like this grass. 



Distribution. — In black cotton soils all over the presidency, but 

 most abundant in the Ceded districts.
