 curved callus of the following glume is remarkably long and is covered 

 with a few short stitf hairs, that the edges of the flowering glume are 

 ciliate with a few scattered haii-s near the base, and that the joints of 

 the rachilla are also ciliate-scabrous. The panicle branches are shorter 

 than in youi- No. 89, the leaves are shorter, of much firmer texture 

 and pubescent on the upper surfiice. I will name this grasss pro- 

 visionally F. subulifolia." This is the Vancouver Island plant.
