TropH Aire Ohio: 1917, 
Culms ascending, branching, 20 to 100 
cm tall, the nodes bearded or (in var. 
panormitanus) glabrous; blades 10 to 20 cm 
long, 1 to 4 mm wide, pubescent or nearly 
glabrous; racemes flabellately aggregate on 
a short axis, few to several, 2 to 6 cm long, 
villous; first glume with a pit or pinhole in 
the middle of the back; awn of sessile spike- 
let twice-geniculate, brown, about 15 mm 
long. The var. panormitanus differs only 
in the glabrous nodes, less pubescent 
blades, and often more numerous racemes. 
Roadsides and open grassy places, 
Tropics of the Old World; introduced in 
the West Indies. 
Called ‘“‘sourgrass” in Tobago and ‘‘Bar- 
bados souregrass”’ in many of the islands. 
A somewhat more slender form with, on 
the average, fewer racemes, is called mM |. oo 356—An aesunse sunt 
the Virgin Islands “hurricane grass.” roides, X 1 (Hitchcock 5370). 
This form is said to be relished by stock 
and makes more satisfactory forage than does Barbados sourgrass.
