Desvaux 1. (Fig. 9.) An erect annual, usually branching below, mostly 3-6 dm. higli. C!ulm smooth or pubescent at the nodes. Sheath usually pilose-pubescent, sometimes nearly smooth; ligule rovmded or subtruncate, dentate, about 1mm. long; blades linear to linear-lanceolate, 6-1-5 cm. long, 3-5 mm. wide, mostly pilose-pubescent throughout, sometimes nearly smooth. Panicle usually narrow and somewhat crowded suberect, 8-20 cm. long; branches rather numerous, slender, ascending or diverging in fruit. Spikelets narrow, lanceolate at first, becoming spread and oblong lanceolate in flower and fruit, vtosthj 5-7-floivered, cm. long; empty glumes lanceolate, acununate, or with a subulate pro- longation, smooth, the lower 1- nerved, rarely 3-nerved, 8-11 mm. long, the upper broader, 3-nerved, rarely 5-nerved, 13-16 nmi. long; flowering glume coarfely and suh- sparsely pubescent, 5-nerved, 12-15 mm. long, acuminate, with two nar- row teeth 2-S mm. long; the pubes- cence on the callus is usually slightly denser and longer than on the glume; awn 15-20 mm. long, twisted below, bent below the middle and strongly divaricate when old. Type from Chile. General distribution: California to Colo- rado and south to Chile. Specimens examined.—Utah: Sitgreaves Pass, Camp 60 (Ives Expedition). Nevada: Near Horse Spring (M. E. Jones 5069f); valley of Virgin River, Lincoln County (Coville & Fiinston 1907). California: Los Angeles (S. M. Tracy 163; Kellogg & Harford 1087, 1094); near Pasa- dena (, April 12, 1885); Panamint jNIountains, Inyo County (Coville & Funston 506); near San Francisco (Bolander 6128). This plant is apparently related to B. scoparius and B. tectorunt, though differing in some respects from all species of Bromus and showing close relatio
