ealycina (Lam. Ill. i. 200 ; Poir. Encycl. Suppl. i. 540), was referred 
to D. macrantha by Nees, Fl. Afr. Austr. 319; but the very in-

and branches flexuous, slightly viseid ; branches 2-nate or solitary, 
a few spikelets ‘from the middle ; florets 2; glumes equal,

This species was placed by Nees between Danthonia purpurea, Beauv., and 
D. glauca, Nees. 4
