This comes very close to C. uniflora, Steud., and is really only to be distinguished from 



it by the more conspicuous glumes and glabrous leaves with a thickened margin, and 



the secondary nerves very strongly marked

No. 2154 of Lechler contains portions of a large plant of some height ; 2G40 and 2694 

 ire from very dwarf plants ; but I cannot point ont any distinction of consequence. The 

 pike of this plant is extremely like that of JPanicum interruptum, Willd. 



16. C. tessellata, Munro. Panicula elongata, spicata, rhachi hirsuta ; glumis brevibus, 



obtusis, hirsutis ; foliis lanceolatis, basi obtusis, apice subulato-acuminatis, subtus 



conspicue tessellatis.
