 erect stem 3 ft. high, ending in a subcorymbose inflorescence 

 11 in. long. The long spikes (lowest 8 in.) are ascending from a 

 stout common rhachis 3 in. long. The narrow spikelets closely 

 resemble those of the type, but are even more acuminate, the 

 lowest barren glumes being almost awned. It has every appeai'- 

 ance of a gigantic specimen of the type, as it occurs in northern 

 and tropical Africa.
