Description : A much tufted, branched and very leafy elegant grass, 30-60 

 cm. high ; stem firm or almost woody, slender, polished, from a perennial 

 Woodstock ; nodes on stem glabrous or bearded. Leaves 2'5-6"5 cm. long 

 up to 2*5 mm. broad, linear, acuminate, bearded at the base and margins of 

 sheaths. Spikes 17 mm. to 5 cm. long, terminating all the branches ; rhachis 

 compressed and pedicel bearded ; each spikelet with 2 long fine scaberulous 

 awns 15-25 mm. long. Sessile spikelet : Lower involucral glume narrow-oblong, 

 broadest above, faintly 2-4-nerved, tip bearded. Upper involucral glume the 

 largest, conduplicate, 25 mm. long, 1-nerved, keel produced into a long awn, 

 tip densely ciliate. Lower floral glume sometimes absent. Pale of upper floral 

 glume broadly ovate-oblong, much exceeding the minute ovary. Pedicelled 

 spikelet about f-f the length of the sessile. 



Locality : Grown in gardens. 



Distribution : Hilly parts of India from the Punjab to Bhutan, Burma and 

 China, southwards to Central India and Ceylon, Malaya* 



25. Eulalia, Kunth ; Stapf Fl. Trop. Afr. ix, 97, 

 (Formerly under Pollinia, Trin.— Cke. ii, 950). 

 Perennial. Culms sample, erect or ascending. Leaf-blades convolute when 

 young, then flat, usually narrow, gradually passing into the sheath. Racemes 

 often coloured, brown or purplish. Spikelets all alike or nearly so, one sessile, 

 the other pedicelled on the articulate fragile rhachis of 2-nate, digitate or 

 fascicled spike-like racemes, the pedicelled falling from their pedicels, the 

 sessile deciduous together with the contiguous joint of the rhachis and the 

 pedicel. Involucral glumes equal or somewhat unequal, rigidly membranous to 

 coriaceous, the lower dcrsally flattened or shallowly concave (never grooved),
