Except in the smaller size, hairy peduncles and rachis of the shorter spikes, small 

 spikelets, and toothed tip of gl. I, there is little to distinguish this from some of 

 the states of A. ciliaris, Hackel indeed says that these are very closely allied.

The CoNOAN ? Stocks. 



Annual, decumbent, glabrous ; stems sjender, ascending, branching, 6-12 in. long:. 

 Leaves 1-2 by i-| in., lanceolate from a convolute amplcxicaul base, acuminate, 

 flat, flaccid, pubescent or villous ; sheaths lax, pubescent, upper spathiform leafl.ess ; 

 lignle short. Floral spathes 1^2^ in., linear-lanceolate, membranous, green, un- 

 closing the spikes, pubescent. Spikes binate on a common peduncle, a subsessile 

 and a pedicelled, pedicel slender pubescent, fragile j joints about 4, half as long as 

 the spikelet, and shorter pedicels of upper spikelec clavate, compressed, pectinately 

 ciliate. Spikelets binate, a sessile and pedicelled at each joint, and a terminal 

 male. Sessile spikelets i in., membranous, linear-lanceolate, 2-nerved, deeply in- 

 flexed in the middle line, tip 2.mucronate, margins hyaline ; II as long, linear, 

 lanceolate, laterally compressed, 1-nerved, keel scabrid ; III shorter, linear, nerveless, 

 glabrous ; IT = i III, lanceolate acute, glabrous, with the immensely long awn 

 attached to its base, palea 0. Pedicelled spikelets about -J in., awnless. 



UNDETEBMINABLE SPECIES. 



Bateatheeum, Wall, Cat. 8827 (Andropogon minutissimua, Meri. Heyae) is 

 a dwarf or very immature state and unrecognizable.

 A small, slender, straggling, flaccid, leafy annual. Lgaves elliptiq- 

 lanceolate, acute at both ends. Spikes, solitary, simple, shortly exserted 

 from the uppermost leaf-sheatha ; rachis very slender, linear, flatttned,
