This species has been the cause of much confusion, and has been very differently interpreted by different authors. Some, in- cluding Vahl, Hooker fil., Grisebach, and Fournier, ap- parently accepting Linnteus's doubtful reference to Feuillee's plate of B. catltarticvs as the true B. purgans, have referred various forms of the subgenus ('eratochloa. to it. (Others, as Torrey and Hooker, have re- ferred B. kalmii and related forms to it, while Dr. Gray seems to have been the first to apply the name to the plant described by Linnjeus, whose description is so complete as to leave little doubt as to the plant he had in hand. The species shows occasional con- necting forms with B. clUatns. It is also very closely related to B. ramosus of Europe. In the West and North it appears to merge into B. richardsnni. It is distinguished from B. kalmii, another near relative, by its longer and narrower empty glumes and the shorter and sparser pubescence of the flowering glumes, as well as by its larger panicle and broader leaves.
