" Closely allied to, but distinct from, Melica aristata. Neither of

 i-aised to the rank of a genus, and made to include these and two or 

 three other species which at present are evidently out of place in the 

 genera to which they have been referred. Your No. 52 would then be 

 Bromelica ISmitldi." {Scribner.) Eatlicr common in damj) thickets at
