and not thicker than packing-threads, although they have several branches at each node 

 of the usual thickness. This may possibly be a peculiar state of one of the species 

 already described ; it appears to me, however, to differ from all the four species which 

 have a simple fringe of longish fibres at the mouth of the vaginae. 21. brevispica is dis- 

 tinguished by having hairy vaginae. M. Clausseni has leaves hairy below. M. speciosa 

 has longer and broader leaves, with the vaginae transversely rugose ; and, finally, M. ter- 

 nata would appear to differ in having smoother branches, much thicker stems, and 

 longer and broader leaves, with more numerous secondary nerves below.
