  is 
  so 
  constant 
  in 
  its 
  characters 
  and 
  so 
  easily 
  separated 
  from 
  all 
  

   forms 
  of 
  0. 
  laxiflora, 
  by 
  its 
  broad 
  bracts

  short 
  inconspicuous

  spike 
  that 
  I 
  can 
  readily 
  admit 
  its 
  claims 
  to 
  specific 
  

   rank. 
  We 
  have 
  it

  the 
  Helderberg

  This 
  millet 
  has 
  been 
  intro- 
  

   duced 
  and 
  is 
  frequently 
  found 
  growing 
  in 
  , 
  waste 
  places 
  about 
  

   cities 
  and 
  villages.

  lamellae 
  broad,

  or

   ascending,

  first

  This 
  plant 
  resembles 
  small 
  forms 
  of 
  Galera 
  tenera 
  in 
  color 
  and 
  

   shape, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  readily 
  distinguished 
  from 
  that 
  species 
  by 
  the 
  

   darker 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  mature 
  lamellae 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  spores. 
  The 
  

   plant 
  is 
  much 
  smaller 
  than 
  P. 
  gracilis 
  and 
  P. 
  graciloides 
  to 
  

   which 
  it 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  related.
