the lowest ? spikelet ; rhachis-joints and pedicels flat Avith densely 

 shortly pale fulvous hauy margins ; spikelets reddish ; sessile 

 spikelet exceeding the rhachis-joint, callus short, blunt with a 

 subequal tuft of hairs on each side, oblong-lanceolate, broadest 

 in the middle ; outer glume coriaceous, glabrous with a scarious 

 scabridulous 2 -denticulate apex, elliptical-oblong, margins con- 

 volute, many-nerved, usually the 3 (sometimes 1 or 5) central 

 nerves form conspicuous parallel lidges ; gl. II. subequal, 

 3-nerved, broadly navicular, blunt ; gl. III. hyaline, oblong, 

 tapering to a blunt apex, 2-nerved, margins inflexed ciliolate 

 above ; fertile glume hyaline, linear from a weak stipitiform 

 base, apex bifid, awn 3 times the length of the spikelet, column 

 brown, shortly villous, shorter than the pale subula ; pale short, 

 rounded, lodicules broadly cuneate, ovary glabrous; pedicelled 

 spikelet lanceolate, acute, larger than the sessile ; outer glume 

 inconspicuously many-nerved ; gl. II. slightly shorter, 3-nerved, 

 narrowly navicular, mucronate ; gl. III. hyaline, oblong, blunt, 

 3-nerved, flowering glume hyaline, narrow. 



Specimen 2^ ft. high, upwardly spreading, internodes terete, 

 lower 1 to 1^ in. long, becoming longer above ; ligule glabrous 



1 to li lines long ; the narrow subflattened leaf-blades reaching 

 9 in. in length, 2^ lines or less in breadth, much longer than the 

 sheaths. Inflorescence a foot or less in length ; ultimate spathes 

 \\ to 2i in. long, racemes 2^ to 1 in. long (excluding awns), 

 pedicels I line and 2 lines respectively ; scarious process beneath 

 lowest $' spikelet reddish, ^ to i line long. Rhachis-joint red 



2 lines long ; sessile spikelet 3^ lines including the callus {\ line) ; 

 point of insertion oblique, leaving no scarious appendage ; gl. III. 

 21 lines long ; fertile glume 2 lines, awn 9 to 10 lines, pale \ 

 line. Pedicels 1^ to 2 lines long, bearing S spikelets 4 to 5 lines 

 long, margins of flattened outermost glume narrowly incurved 

 becoming carinulate above the middle, keels scabridulous ; gl. II. 

 3^ to 4 lines, hyaline between the nerves ; gl. III. 3^ lines, the 

 margin ciliolate in the upper § ; flowering glume scarcely 3 lines, 

 margin ciliolate above. 



Near A. hracteatvs Willd., but easily distinguished by habit, 

 the markedly ridged outer glume of the sessile spikelet, and the 

 shorter weaker awn.
