T. vulgar e cladura, Alef. Landw. Fl. 333 (1866). 



Alefeld obtained this variety from var. Fuchsii. 



Kornicke received it from a Botanic Garden and states that only a certain 

 proportion of the ears are branched, and in these the branching is not pro- 

 nounced. 



The commonest form of it has very tall straws, 130-140 cm. long, branched 

 ears with a toughish rachis and awns 4-5 cm. long. The grains are reddish- 

 yellow and mealy, small, 6 mm. long, 3~3'5 mm. broad.
