I have only seen some portions of a panicle of this plant, and therefore have had but 

 slight materials to describe a species from. However, the very hollow panicle, with large 

 spicules, and much acuminated lower palea, combined with the broad leaves and their 

 conspicuous transverse veinlets, serve to distinguish this from B. tulda and all its allies. 



The following species, B. Falconeri, has also broad leaves; but they are rounded at tin 

 base, and the ligules are much elongated, in addition to other (less conspicuous) points o! 

 difference. B. Oldhami has a panicle very similar to that of this species.
