2 Rhizoma squamis approximatis obtectum. Culmi. cæspitosi as- 
cendentes 2-pedales teretes, crassitie pennæ gallinaceæ, infra 
medium parum dichotome ramosi, ramique olivacei crasse albido- 
tubereulati, Rami steriles foliiferi nonnunquam adsunt spithamæi 
supra basin iterum iterumque dichotome ramulosi, ramulis ultimis 
filiformibus patentibus foliosis arbusculam mentientibus. Vaginæ 
culmeæ majores 10-15 mill. arcte tubulatæ coriaceæ, sub apice 
profunde hyalino-bilobato demum deciduo, subulato-mucronatæ, mu- 
crone brevi appresso. Vaginæ ramulales conformes magnitudine 
minores apiceque in folia aciculiformia tuberculata stricta vel arcuata 
productæ. Spiculæ masculæ et femineæ conformes, numero variantia, 
plerumque 6-8 in apice culmi rachi flexuosi spicatim disticheque ap- 
proximatæ, singulæ oblongæ erectæ 12-15 mill. long. cylindrato-lan- 
ceolatæ, demum complanatæ (fructiferæ sub-clavatæ), basique spatha 
aperta brevi vaginiformi suffulta. Bracteæ undique arcte, demum 
laxiuscule imbricatæ oblongo-lanceolatæ coriaceæ ferrugineæ, sub 
apice acuto, vix mucronulato. Flores breviter stipitati oblongi bracteis 
breviores. Perianthii segmenta oblonga obtusiuscuié, lateralia externa 
cymbea villoso-carinata ; int lum; interiora 
3 minora tenuiora, ad basin nonnunquam plus minus indiscreta. Fila- 
menta albida. Antheræ oblongæ nigro-castaneæ tuberculis parvis 
obsitze, Pistillodium tripartitum. In stirpe feminea inflorescentia brac- 
teæ perianthiumque fere omnino ut in mare, segmentis perianthii 
internis liberis vel basi connexis. Ovarium ovoideum 3-stylum sta— 
minodiis 3 cireumdatum. Capsula obliqua, abortu 2-vel 1-locularis. 
Semina majuscula trigona tuberculis magnis albis margaritaceis 
obsita 
Quoad staturam spicarumque numero-variat. Spiculæ maturæ com- 
planatæ sunt ita ut axin seu rachidem per superficiem dorsalem res- 
piciant ut in Tritico, spiculæ juniores autem sub teretes apparent et in 
lacunis rachidis sunt apposite.
