Tliis species is certainly allied to the preceding in general form, habit, and appearance ; 

 bnt it has much longer glumes, and the spiculae are nearly twice the length and has 

 much longer pedicels. The second neutral flower is also unusually long and rnvelopin 







The leaves are more glabrous, and the ligula considerably Ion 



The preceding pa

were printed before I had an opportunity of seeing, through the kindness of M. lh*(

 " Conspectus Specierum" at p. 53, but should be placed between nos. 19 and 20.
