“In F. ruhra the leaves of the culm and sterile shoots are 
similar, the ligules in the latter are not auriculate, and tlie 
shoots themselves are extra-vaginal; i. e. the buds of the 
branches at the base of the culm burst through the base of 
the leaf sheath in the axil of which they are formed. In 
F, ovina the leaves of the flowering culms and sterile shoots 
are unlike, the ligules on the latter are auriculate and the 
shoots themselves are intra-vaginal; i. e. the buds in the lower 
leaf axils grow up out of the sheaths and do not break through 
them below. F. ovina is strictly tufted, while F. ruhra extends 
more or less by rootstocks.” P. Lamson-Scribner.
