. Bulletin. Gramineae -- United States; Forage plants -- United States. 47 Agropyron caninoides Beal. (Bearded Wheat-grass).—Tliis wheat-grass occurs mostly as a bimch grass; the bunches small with stoutish, erect stems; heads long, close, and well awned. It vvobably is rare, though it was found in fair qua'utity on the borders of a mountain brook and extending well up on the adjacent hillsides. Woods Creek, August 9 (3940). Agropyron caniiiuni R. & S. (Bearded Wheat ghass).—Somewhat resembling the preceding but smaller, with shorter leaves. Probably of the plains rather than the mountains

Agropyron caniiiuni R. & S. (Bearded Wheat ghass).—Somewhat resembling the preceding but smaller, with shorter leaves. Probably of the plains rather than the mountains. Lara- mie River, July 31 (3458). Agropyron dasystachyum subvillosuni S. iV H.—It is especially valuable upon saline lands and responds with an increased yield to more favorable situations. Pine Bluffs, July 5 (3604); Colorado-Wyoming line, July 22 (3S04); Evanston, July 27 (3836). Agropyron divergens Nees. (BUNCII WUEAT-GUASS).— A bunch grass, the stems and leaves densely tufted, 18 to 30 inches high; heads long, narrowly spike-like, with long, divergent, twisted awns. Common in the foothills on dry, stony ridges and slopes. Readily eaten by stock, especially before the awns have de- veloped and after they have fallen off. Laramie Hills, June 16 (3181); Green Top, June 29 (3243); Sheep Mountain, July 3 (3298). Agropyron pseudorepens S. • & S. (False Couch-grass, lig. 20). — Forming dense bunches, the numerous stems stout, erect as a whole, but somewhat bent at base, spikes 4 to 6 inches long, awns short. Pro- nounced a most excellent grass for hay purposes, both on accountof its quality and its heavy yield. Itwouldseem that some of the other wheat-grasses that form a uniform sod could be used to better advantage than this bunch-grass on grounds which are to be seeded to permanent meadow.
