2. C. eleusinoides Rendle sp. nov. 
Perennial (?), culms erect from a decumbent or ascending 
geniculate base ; nodes glabrous, reddish-brown ; internodes terete, 
rigid, glabrous, except the two upper short and covered by the 
loose dry submembranous striate tuberculately hairy sheaths ;

linear-tapering, apex pungent, becoming convolute, scabridulous 
on both faces, sparsely tuberculate-pilose on the lower ; inflorescence 
a compound spike, linear-lanceolate to lanceolate, spikelets sessile, 
closely arranged in 2 rows on one side of the subflattened scabrid 
rhachis, forming ascending sessile spikes scattered.on the scabrid- 
angled main axis; barren glumes subequal, l-nerved, narrowly 
linear-lanceolate, acuminate, keel scabridulous, equal to or slightly 
exceeding the 4 to 5 flowers, the uppermost small and barren ;

leaves 1} in. long or less by 14 line broad. Panicle 4 or 5 in. 
long by ? in. across, becoming wider in the fruit from the greater 
spreading of the branches; branches shortening upwards, the
