THAILAND: HuaHin, Kerr 13,477 (K). 19. CHLORIS BOURNEI Raiigachariar and Tadulingam, Jour. Indian Hot. Soc. 2:189. 1921. (TYPE: MH, not seen. Original description and accompanying illustration Fig. 27, A-E. arc clear. Stoloniferous perennial up to 1 m tall, with geniculate culms ascending from a tufted l)ase; sheaths glabrous, ciliate near the membranous ligule; blades up to 10 cm long, 5 mm wide, glabrous, scabrous, or sparsely pilose above, pilose on lower surface, especially at base; spikes three to nine, 6 to 9 cm long; spikelets imbri- cate, ca six per cm of the scabrous rachis; glumes broadly lanceolate to ovate, glabrous and membranous except for the scabrous to hispid midnerve; first glume to mm long, to mm wide; second glume to mm long, to mm wide; fertile lemma elliptic to obovate, to mm long, to mm wide, densely appressed-pubescent along callus, margins, and keel, awn to mm long; sterile florets two or three; lowest sterile floret obovate, to mm long, ca 1 mm wide, glabrous to sparsely pubescent on the midnerve, somewhat inflated, often containing rudiments of the palea, stamens, and pistil, occasionally apparently fertile, somewhat inflated, awn 3 to 4 mm long; caryopsis ca mm long, mm wide, ellipsoid-ovoid; chromosome number 2n =40. ChloTis bournei and C. inflata are similar, though C. bournei has much larger spikelets (Table 8; Fig. 27, A-E). Also, Chloris bournei is a stoloniferous perennial, while C. inflata is a tufted or stoloniferous annual.
