Type from the Island of Sitka. General distribution: Alaska south to Washington, appar- ently near the coast. Specimens examined.âAlaska: Unalaska (Dr. A. Kellogg 142); Hope Island (Dr. A. Kellogg 143); YesBay(Thos. Howell 1722A)âa form ap- proaching B. aleutensis in its shorter awn and somewhat broader flowering glume. Cascade Mountains: 49 n. lat. (Dr. Lyall in 1859)âa form approaching B. ca r i n at u s hookerianus. This species is related to B. aleu- tensis and B. carinaius hook- erianus, but most closely to the latter, from which it dif- fers in the typical form in its more robust form, laxer pani- cle with fewer spikelets and much longer, weaker, si)read- ing branches. 35.
