The glumes are as rigid as those of Ammophila, and the valve, 
though thiar, is still firmer than in any other De yeuzia : fog

seen. The leaves are in structure very li the of 
Ammophila arenaria, but the blades are more ten Prid The 
awn springs from the sinus of the valve, whilst it is, E believe, 
always dorsal in the true Deyeuxias and reduced to a subterminal 
mucro or quite absent in Ammophila. This insertion of the awn 
in connection with the dir side lobes and the shortly excurrent 
side nerves would bring the species near to Fenlapogon, but in 
that genus the rhachilla i is glabrous and the top of the ovary con- 
spicuously appendaged. he great similarity of the structure of 
the blades of De euzia sclerophylla and of the other grasses of 
Giulianetti's collection from Mount Scratchley, with the exception 
of Microlena, is very Heres and indicative of great (probably 
periodical) dry ness of the air

named peosiépnaly- Festuca oreoboloides.
