This is the only species of Festuca found in this interesting 

 mountain. Although the specimen is in too late a stage of 

 blossoming to show a perfect flower, I have no hisitation in 

 identifying it with Festuca ovina on account of its great 

 resemblance in the form of foliage, flowerless glumes and its 

 habits. This grass is common on high elevations in Japan, and 

 ranges over the Kurile Islands in the north and southwards to 

 central Japan. It is rather a remarkable matter that we have 

 found this species on a high elevation in the Island of Formosa.

In my specimens, I find two forms of this species; one 

 having a rather contracted panicle, while the other has a 

 spreading and more expanding panicle. This difference is due, 

 I think, to the stage of the developement of the panicle. In 

 the advancing stage, the panicle tends to expand its branchlets, 

 though it is not so in its younger stage.
