Manisuris exaltata (Poaceae ), 55068 . Grass. From Salis- 
bury, Rhodesia. Seeds presented by H, G. Mundy, chief 
agriculturist and botanist, Department of Agriculture . 
"'Kokoma grass.' This grass, which is a native of Rho- 
desia, is an extremely vigorous, free-seeding, leafy 
annual. It hardly withstands drought as well as Sudan 
grass, but gives a considerably larger yield of fod-

some weed. The rather harsh, stinging hairs on the lower 
culms, are an objection, '.but not a very serious one."
