Fig. 181. CHLORIS NEGLECTA Nash, Bui. Torr. Bot. Club, 22 : 423. 1895. 

 (Eustachys negleda Nash, ibid, 25 : 450. 1898.)— A rather stout perennial 6-12 

 dm. (20-4°) high, with compressed culms and sheaths, fiat leaves 10-35 cm. 

 (4'-14') long, and four to six terminal .spikes 8-12 cm. (3i'-5') long. Sheaths 

 keeled, .striate; leaf-blades folded, at least when dry, glabrous except on the 

 scabrous margins, obtuse. Spikelets exclusive of the awns, about 3 mm. (li") 

 long; empty glumes (o) 1-nerved, scabrous on the keel; flowering glumes 

 (c, d, e) pilose, awned.— Low pine lands, Florida. July to October. 



Closely allied to and much resembling C. floridana, but differing from that 

 species in its more numerous spikes, smaller spikelets, and shorter third glume, 

 which has a longer pubescence.
