Species distincta, spicularum dispositione et dimensionibus, rhachi aristiformi, glumis multinervibus, 
nervis prominulis etc. excellens; P. favidum, cui species nostra affinis esse videtur, jam spiculis dense 
biseriatis, pro more valde incurvis et minoribus, glumis tenuioribus, glumarum nervis minus numerosis 
facile distinguitur.
