Caps, with 3 acute angles, not suddenly contracted above. 

 Thickets, rather rare. P. V. E. 



3. ? L. Borreri (Bromf. MS.) ; 1. linear-lanceolate hairy, pan. 

 subcymose long very slightly branched, ped. 1 2-fL, upper ones 

 reflexed after flowering, style equalling stain., filaments about -3- 

 as long as anth., caps, acute shorter (?) than the perianth, seeds 

 with a straight blunt crest. St. slender, more than a foot high. 

 Bracts at base of pan. narrow, scarcely leaflike. Ovary not taper- 

 ing into the style. Caps, perhaps equalling the perianth when 

 ripe. Seeds as large as those of L. pilosa. See Phytol. iii. 983.

4. L. pilosa (Willd.); 1. lanceolate hairy, panicle subcymose 

 only slightly branched, peduncles 1 3-fl., upper ones reflexed 

 after flowering, fl. solitary, style (excluding stigmas) exceeding 

 stain., filaments about half as long as the anth., caps, blunt 

 exceeding the perianth, seeds with a falcate crest. E. B. 736. 

 St. 77- 3. St. slender, 6 12 in. high. Caps, ovoid, trigonous, 

 suddenly contracted above. Thickets. P. V. 



5. L. campestris (Willd.) ; 1. linear hairy, panicle of 3 or 4 

 ovate dense sessile or stalked clusters, segments of perianth lan- 

 ceolate-acuminate exceeding the obtuse apiculate cwps., filaments 

 much shorter than the anthers, seeds nearly globular with a basal 

 appendage. E. B. 672. St. 77- 5. St. 46 in. high. Anth. 

 linear, about 6 times as long as the filaments. Pastures and dry 

 places. P. IV. V. 



6. L. multiflora (Lej.); 1. linear hairy, panicle of many ovate 

 dense sessile or stalked clusters, segments of perianth narrowly- 

 lanceolate strongly acuminate exceeding the obtuse-apiculate 

 c&ps., filaments nearly as long as the anthers, seeds nearly twice 

 as long as broad with a basal appendage. E. B. S. 2718. St. 77. 

 7. L. congesta Sm. St. 8 20 in. high. Filaments more than 

 half as long as the rather short small anth. and often as long as 

 them. Panicle with the clusters nearly all stalked, or (/3. L. 

 congesta, Lej., L. campestris j3. Hook.) contracted into a rounded 

 lobed head. Moorish and turfy places. P. VI. 



7. L. spicata (DC.) ; 1. narrow slightly channeled hairy, 

 panicle an oblong lobed nodding spike, clusters falling short of 

 their bracts, segments of perianth narrow acuminate bristle- 

 pointed, filaments half as long as the anthers, caps, obtuse api- 

 culate, seeds oblong with a very slight basal appendage. E. B. 

 1176. St. 3 12 in. high. L. short, slender. Spike i 1 in.
