Culms compressed, striate, scabrous below the nodes and panicle, otherwise smooth, much branched at the base, often geniculate and rooting at the lower nodes; nodes brown, bearded with short appressed hairs; sheaths very loose, compressed, keeled, the lower ones usually much exceeding the internodes, scabrous or sometimes nearly smooth, rarely pubescent, smooth or ciliate on the margin; ligule fringed with rather rigid white hairs; leaf-blades 1 to 3 dm. long, 3 to 6 mm. wide, scabrous on both sides, serrulate-sca- brous on the cartilaginous margins, tapermg to the base, acuminate-pointed. Panicles cylindrical, dense, narrowed to the obtuse apex, 6 to 16 cm. long, 6 to 15 mm. in diameter below, exclusive of the setae; rachis angular, pilose; branches short, contiguous, densely 5 to 15 flowered; setee 1 or rarely 2 at each spikelet, green or purplish, erect- spreading, flexuous, 5 to 15 mm. long, antrorsely scabrous. Sitikelets ovate, acute, about 2 mm. long, gibbous; first glume one- third to one-half as long as the spikelet, ovate-cordate, acute, 3 to 5 nerved, mclos- ing the base of the spike- let; second glume broadly ovate, acute or obtuse, apiculate, about four-fifths as long as the spikelet, 5 to 7 nerved, the mid-nerve excurrent, the lateral ones anastomosing or abruptly vanishing in the hyaline margin; third glume equal- ing and slightly inclosing the fiowering glume, sulcate, 5-nerved, subtending a lanceolate, hyalme jmlea, nerves in all the glumes green, prominent; flowering glume ovate, acute, convex, very strongly transversely midulate-rugose for its whole length; the inclosed palea transversely striate, slightly convex at the
