appendix.] SIB HANS SLOANE'S LIST OF PIANTS. 141 



" Gramen miliaceum angustifolium altum locustis minimis. 

 Cat. pi. Jam., p. 35. 



" This had a small, hard, green stalk, or cidmus, fre- 

 quently jointed, at each joint, having three or four inches 

 long narrow grassy leaves, and rising to be four or five 

 feet high, the panicle was about six inches long. The 

 little twigs or strings going out of the upper part of the 

 culmus, and to which the locust® were fastened were about 

 two inches, taking their beginning from the same part of 

 the stalk, standing round about like so many rays from 

 the centre, at about an inch distance more or less from one 

 another after the manner of oats. The locust® were not 

 scaly, but standing singly by one another, being many and 

 small, having within clay-coloured glum® or chaff, one 

 shining, roundish, small seed, like that of millet.

" Gramen avenaceum, panicula minus sparsa, citja siyigula 

 grana, tres arista's longissimas habent. Cat. pi. Jam., 

 p. 35. 



" This grass had a panicle of about six inches long, not 

 very sparse ; when ripe, of a reddish yellow colour. The 

 spikes were placed alternately at long intervals, and had set 

 on them by small foot-stalks, several very long grains, each 

 of which had on their uppermost end three very long arista;, 

 by which it may be sufficiently distinguished. The glum® 

 were of the same colour as the panicle, and not awned. 

 The spikes were not many in number.
