Eoot annual, fibrous; stems erect, taller than in the last species, furrowed; leaves linear-lanceolate, somewhat glau- cous; sheaths shorter than the leaves; panicle spike-like, cjrlindrical ; spikelets crowded, rather larger than in the Hough Panicum ; the bristles numerous, rough, with erect teeth ; the first empty glume very small, the second about twice the size, the third larger again; the flowering glume investing the seed as it ripens and becoming scored with transverse wrinkles. In this species most authors consider the glumes to contain a barren as well as a fertile floret. The Glaucous Panicum is Europe, America, the East Indies, and New Holland, in all which countries it is a common weed in cultivated ground. In England it is not indigenous, but is occa- sionally found in the south, introduced accidentally a- mong other seeds. It is a taller grass than the Rough Panicum, and the glaucous hue of the herbage is agree- able, the numerous bristles are beset with ascending teeth, and have a tawny or golden tinge, not inclinin a native of the south of. to purple.
