 his description of that species as your No. 89 (of this year.) It = 11 7 1

 curved callus of the following glume is remarkably long and is covered 

 with a few short stiff hairs, that the edges of the flowering glume are

 the rachilla are also ciliate scabrous. The panicle branches are shorter 

 than in your No. 89, the leaves are shorter, of much firmer texture 

 and pubescent on the upper surface. I will name this grasss pro- 

 visionally F. subuUfolia." This is the Vancouver Island plant.
