 pressed below. Leaves 2-4 in., strict, flat or involute, glabrous or sparsely hairy 

 townrrts the flattened sheath. Spikes close together, 1-lJ in., raohis narrower than 

 the 2-seriate spikelets. Qlumes faintly nerved. — Apparently a rarer plant in India

 creeping stem, with thickened nodes, and very short, erect flowering branches, with 

 distichous, subulate, spreading leaves, and spikes partially exsurted from the upper- 

 most sheath.
