An annual or biennial, 3-7 dm. high, typically with a rather small panicle, but fre- quently, under favorable conditions of growth, with a panicle as large as that of B. aecalinus, but more droop- ing. It differs from the spe- cies in its rather larger spike- lets and panicle, also rather broader flowering glumes with frequently a faint indi- cation of an angle on the margin just above the mid- dle. The spikelets cm. long, 6-7 mm. wide, inter- mediate in size between B. racemosus and B. squarroftus; from the latter it differs in its straight awn also. From B. arvensis it is separated bj' its smaller drooping panicle and larger spikelets. Tliis plant seems to be quite gen- erally intrt)duced through- out the country, and espe- cially in the East.
