This has the habit of our European J. conglomeratus, (J. a 
munis, EZ. Mey. and Kth.), but appears to me truly -_ : 
It is a shorter and stouter plant, particularly stout at the pies 
quite smooth (not striated) on the surface, clothed with gee 
jax, membranaceous, leafless sheaths, for nearly a 
height from the base. At about three inches below the 8 BE 
point, and from a small cleft with a small leaf-like cusplda' 
bractea at its base, baa 
pound, subglobose panicle, altogether of a dark brown colo 
and glossy, Ramifications clothed with ovate bracteas, Base 
shorter than the Sepals, which latter are lanceolate, sharply 
acuminated, with a Pale line at the back and a pale margin. 
Stamens 6 Filaments broad, subulate. Anthers oblong, 
yellow. Ovary with a much longer style than in J. conglome- 
ratus, 
The Juncus Bogotensis, H. B. K. is now referred by M. i ) 
to J. conglomeratus, and the description is much at varian 
with our plant,
