[We have before us, from Mr. Millett, two forms of this plant, both belonging to « ; one is smaller than 
the other, with roots from the joints, and the leaves and sheaths shortly hairy and ciliated ; this may prove 
to be D. aristatum. Link. The other is inore robust, the ascending portion of the culm being about a foot 
high, and the spikes almost an inch and a half long, and thick in proportion ; the leaves are very scabrous 
on the margin, and more or less bearded at the mouth of the sheath, but are otherwise, as well as the sheath 
itself, glabrous : the lower part of the culm forms a very remarkable branched prostrate densely leafy rhizoma 
one to two feet in length. The spikelets are sometimes pubescent, sometimes glabrous and shining : but all 
these variations, as well as var. /3, seem to depend much on the localities in which they are found, and not to 
be permanent.]
