Culm erect, with 2 or 3 joints, smooth. Leaves generally in- 
volute. Glumes ovate-lanceolate, acute, c. 8 mm. long, scabrous on 
the dorsal vein. Pales unequal, lower pale ?/s as long as the glumes, 
with a short straight awn from below the middle of the pale. Hairs 
/s as long as the lower pale. 
In Arctic regions the plant generally is only 20—40 cm. high 
and the panicle is narrow, spike-like and tinged with violet (v. al- 
pina Lest. in herb., v. borealis Lge. non Leest.). 
C. confinis and C. neglecta are often rather difficult to separate from each 
other, and they may perhaps form one species.

Glumes lanceolate, long acuminate, about 7 mm. long, very 
rough on the keeled back. Pales equal, */4 as long as the glumes, 
lower pale with a short awn in the upper part. Leaves with rather 
long rigid hairs on the veins of the upper surface; ligule long, acute. 
About 1 metre high with 3 developed joints.

Obs. We have not seen Arctic specimens of this plant, which in former 
times was often confounded with C. canadensis. Most likely C. cinnoides (C. cana- 
densis Nutt.) has been meant in the above mentioned list of Taylor, Hooker and 
Durand, but it is probable it may have been confounded with either C. confinis or 
C. Langsdorfii, at all events neither C. cinnoides nor C. canadensis have been found 
in West Greenl. in recent times. although the place (Sukkertoppen) has been often 
visited by Danish botanists.
