during dissection, with the first glume, and actually remains 
enclosed in it. The fact that this so-called pale is one-nerved 
and not two-keeled is an indication of its true nature. The 
possession of four glumes therefore puts this specimen out of — 
Woodrowia. It is clearly a species of Dimeria. Dr. Stapf con- 
siders this diagnosis correct. I thought it to be D. gracilis 
ees ; but he informs me it is D. diandra, Stapf. pce

fusing below with the produced rachilla* (?), and producing — 
a minute ciliate awned or awnless glume (IV). Stamens 3, 
te ciliate — 
awned or awnless barren glume. Dr. Stapf does not find that 
this rachilla is actually joined to the back of the pale, although, — 
as he says, it is closely adpressed to it and may perhaps Some 
times adhere to it. He considers it a new species and I have, 
therefore, named it D. Gammiei after Mr. G. A. Gammie, n0W 
Imperial Cotton Specialist.
