 its proportionately shorter glumes and acute terminal flower.

Hab. Oregon and California. — Nuttall described the plant from a 

 small form which occurs in the collections, but not so abundantly as 

 the larger states referred to in Whipple's Report. In Nuttall's descrip- 

 tion it is inadvertently stated that the lower glume is 3-nerved : it 

 should be the upper one.
