294 GRASSES OF BRITAIN. 



Triticum pinnatum (variety) compositum. 



Compound Upright Wheat-Grass. 



Plate CXXXV. 



The spikelets arising from the rachis in threes is the principal 

 mark of distinction in this variety, or rather monstrosity. 



It was sent me by Mr Gibson, who gathered it in Yorkshire on 

 chalky soil, in the month of July. 



It is distinguished from Triticum sylvatiaim in the florets not be- 

 ing hairy and the awns short. 



Triticum pinnatum (variety) hispidum. 



Rough Upright Wheat- Grass. 



Plate CXXXVI. 



In this variety the glumes and florets are covered with very short 

 bristly hairs producing a roughness to the touch, the root scarcely 

 branched, and the ligule prominent. 



Gathered in Yorkshire. 



Bracli/podiuin pinnatum (variety) ruJijure, Kotli.
