This seed appears mostly in the hull. In this form it is straw-colored or darker. Individual seeds are triangular in section, being sharply angled along the back, tapering toward the ends, the apex awn- Viewed from the angled back or front they are curved to one side (a). The surface may be smooth or somewhat hairy, the back hairy toward the apex. The rachilla segment is slender, terete and slightly curved. Seeds rest on the front face (a) or oblique sides (b b) on a level surface. Meadow fescue {Festuca elatior). Fig. 220. This seed in the hull is dark straw-colored or light brown. Individual seeds are somewhat boat-shaped, tapering to the ends, often frayed at the thin, papery apex. The inner face (a) is flattened and concave, the back rounded, not angled ; seeds rest- ing on the front or back on a level surface. The rachilla segment is slender, terete, straight, dis- tinctly expanded at the apex, important in distin- guishing this seed. Red-top (Agrostis alba). Fig. 221. Seeds minute, mostly in the hull (a a), or in the "chaffy" grades largely surrounded by the outer chaff (b). In the.
