(Fig. 8.) An erect, glabrous, csespitose annual, 2 to 9 dm. high, with short, lanceolate leaves and dense, cylindrical, spike-like green panicles 2 to 10 cm. long. Culms usually much branched at the base, glabrous, compressed; nodes smooth; sheaths com- pressed, loose, longer than the in- ternodes, ciliate on the margins; ligule short, ciliate with long, white hairs; leaf-blades to dm. long, 4 to 10 mm. wide, scarcely narrowed at the cordate base, long- acuminate, slightly scabrous on » both sides or sometimes nearly glabrous, serrulate-scabrous on the cartilaginous margins. Panicles linear-ovate in outline, tapering to the obtuse apex; rachis striate, \dl- lous, generally about 1 cm. in diameter, exclusive of the bristles; setse slender, strict, spreading, antrorsely scabrous, 1 to cm. long, green or rarely purplish. Spikelets about 2 mm. long, ellip- tical; first glume triangular-ovate, 3-nerved, about one-third the spikelet in length; second and third glumes elliptical, obtuse, 5- nerved, equaling the spikelet, the third glume subtending a lanceo- late, hyaline palea one-third its own length; flowering glume el- liptical, rounded at the apex, finely and faintly transversely wrinkled below, or only striate and pitted, the inclosed palea equaling it in length, similar in texture and markings. In waste places and cultivated grounds throughout North America. Natu- ralized from Europe. July-Sep- tember. Specimens examined.—Newfoundland: Waghorne 1892. Ottawa: Macoun 1894, Fletcher 1891.
