sheath, in the truncate summit of the floret, and in the awn 
extending half its length beyond the palea. In A. agrestis 
the stem and sheaths are rough, floret conical at apex, awn 
longer. 
It differs from A. pratensis in having the floret shorter 
than the glumes, and in being truncated instead of conical 
at the apex, and in the glumes not being joined at the base. 
A. geniculatus is more blunt in the glumes. 
A. fulvus has a conical floret with a longer awn. 
The illustration is from a specimen gathered in Cheshire, by 
Mr. Joseph Sidebotham, of Manchester.
