 others the glumes are somewhat longer.

 1. Bromus carinatus, Hook. & Am. 

 Hab. Nisqually, Washington Territory.

 King. Rep. p. 389. 



Hab. Nisqually, Washington Territory. — The specimens, which are 

 in a very imperfect condition, are doubtfully referred to this. 



3. Bromus Hookerianus. 



CeratochlojL grandiflora, Hook. Fl. Bor.-Am. 2, p. 253, t. 235. 



Hab. Willamette, &c, Oregon.— In reducing Ceratochloa to Bro- 

 mus we find the specific name grandiflorus, already occupied. It is 

 well that this finest of the species should bear the name of the 

 lamented botanist who first described and well illustrated it.
