ChamserapMs setosa Kuntze Rev. Gen. PI. 2: 769 (1891). (Fig. 24.) An erect branching perennial, 4 to 7 dm. high, with loose, slender, generally long- attenuate panicles 1 to dm. in length and linear-lanceolate, ]inT)esoent leaves 1 to 2 dm. long. Culms rather slender, glabrous, geniculate at the base, cylindrical or subcom- pressed, sometimes root- ing at the lower nodes; nodes glabrous; sheaths generally equaling or longer than the internodes, loose, striate, nearly smooth at the base, more or less pu- bescent toward the apex, ciliate on the margins; ligule very short, ciliate; leaf- bl ade s linear-lanceolate, about 1 cm. broad, acumi- nate, rounded at the base, scabrous on the cartilagi- nous margins. Panicle lax, attenuate, 1 to 2 cm. in diameter; axis angular, pilose; branches slender, few-flowered, 1 to cm. in length, equaling or ex- ceeding the internodes; setse 1 to 3 at each spike- let, slender, flexuous, sca- brous, 10 to 15 mm. long; spikelets 2 mm. long, elliptical-ovate, acute; first glume about one-half the length of the spikelet, acute or acuminate, 3-nerved; second glume nearly equal- ing the spikelet, ovate, acute, abruptly apiculate, 5-nerved; third glume equaling the fourth, 5-nerved, subtending a hyaline palea which nearly equals the flowering glume in length; flowering glume about 2 mm. long, narrowly ovate, acute or acuminate, finely transversely rugose, especially below. Palea similar in markings and texture, equaling the glume in length. New Jersey, New Mexico, West Indies, Mexico, South America. Specimexs examined.—New Jersey: Camden, Parker 1879, on "ballast;" al
