Very closely allied to U. pusilla, Nees, and possibly only a vigorous state of it.

Spikelets lanceolate, scarcely compressed, pedicelled, panicled ; 
rhachilla disarticulating above the oor ton a> beyond the base 
of the floret into a fine bristle. Floret 1, 3, exserted from the 
1~3-nerved. Val late profile, rounded o e 
involute, passing into a straight awn or with the awn subterminal, 
subherbaceous, 3-nerved ; callus very short, obtuse, glabrous 
equalling the valve, 2-keeled, entire. Lodicules 2, hyaline, unequally 
2-lobed. Stamens 3. Ovary oblong, pubescent at the top; styles 
distinct, very sab ; stigmas slender, plumose, laterally exserted. 
Grain unknow 
Perennial ; fae flat, broad-linear, flaccid; ligules membranous ; panicle 
large, lax, noddi 
Species 2, 1 in et Transvaal, the other on Mount oe 
opinion, prieerra allied to Festuca, in spite of the st florets and 8 
i‘ esence of a rudimentary valve at f the phachillac gviten 
to the derivation from han 1-flowered type, and if the suppression of 
the second pair of side-nerves were not so complete, this isco would have to be 
described as a species of Festuca of the F. gigantea grouy 
P. africanus (Stapf); quite aga with the exception of the 
oe of the lowest sheaths; culms erect or shortly ascending, 
simple, up to 2 ft. long, sheathed all ety about ean sheaths 
ther loose, strongly striate, the lowest subpersiste ; ligules ovate- 
oblong, 9-21 lin. long, denticulate ; blades pear ab tapering 
to a long setaceous point, to more than 1 ft. by 8 lin., flaccid, green, 
upper, ma loose 
sno 1 ft. long, nodding ; axis angular, smooth below, scaberulous 
; branches more or less 3-nate, scantily and remotely divided
