Deschampsia sp. 



Hab. in verticem montis Morrison, ad 13094 ped. alt. ; leg. 

 S. Nagasawa, Nov. anno 1905. 



This specimen was collected too late in the season and there 

 remained but a few empty glumes. But in its general appearance, 

 its leaves and ligules, it may be a near species of Deschampsia 

 flexuosa or even the same species.

Smallest form of Brachypodium, remarkable for its terete 

 leaves, and its simplest form of a spike reduced into one spicule 

 at the end of a very slender peduncle. Leaf very slender and it 

 measures but 1mm. in diameter, and 3 mm. in circumference.
