Ill the compound structure of the fascicle of spicule, very well and carefully repre- 

 sented by Ruprecht in the drawing quoted above, this species resembles Schizostaclvjiun ; 

 but the styles and caryopsis are very different, and show that the plant cannot belong to 

 the section of berry-bearing Bamboos. The drawings do not represent the keels of tb« 

 upper palea as being as broadly winged as is usnal in the other species of Quadm.
