The third glume with a small palea. Flowering glume smooth and shining, about the length of the third glume. Distinguished from /'. ailanlienm by its more llexuose panicle-branches and smaller spikelets. Low marshy ground. Cape Flizabeth, Maine. Collected by F. Lamson-Scribnei-, July 26,1895. This grass was found growing in patches of considerable extent upon marshy laud near the seashore. Its reddish or purplish spikelets, panicle-branches, and upper leaf sheaths rendered these patches conspicuous by their color. The delicate and liexuous panicle-branches cause the neighboi-ing panicles to become so entangled that indi- vidual specimens are separated with ditli- culty.
