Species distinctissima , forsan cum F. xyridis comparanda, a qua tamen vaginis et foliis, spicula 
majore erecta, glumis externis e dorso mucronatis, nucis forma et structura valde discrepat. Parte vege- 
tativa F. macrostachyam approximat, quae tamen praeter alia spiculis pluribus fasciculatis stylique ramis 
2 abhorret. 
E. descriptione F. MacGillivrayi speciem nostram quam maxime approximat, sed haec differt 
glumis externis haud mucronatis, stylo infra trifurcationem villoso (in specie nostra glaberrimo), nuce cum
