Muhlenbergia Graminea, Agrostidea continued.
No. 95 is Muhlenbergia glomerata Pur. of diffuse, and much branched growth.
No. 96 is M. viridescens Pur. I am sure altho it differs from his description in having the glumes nearly equal, the branches of the barren shoots and the leaves broadish and much longer.
No. 97 & 98. M. Berlandierii Pur: Mine seems thus novel.
No. 99 is M. debilis Pur:
No. 100 is M. gracilis Pur: A var with the foliage remarkably scabrous.
No. 101 is M. calamagrostidea Nth. var seta hrevine No. 112 is the same.
No. 102 is M. sylvatica Pur: var ligulis elongatis glumis angustior. Dr. H. Muhlen. Shaw calls it, Mr. new sp. saw M. sylvatica - Purry's Summers notes differ with mine those glumes. No. 115 is the same.
No. 103 is M. calamagrostidea Nth & M. longiseta Muell:
No. 104 to 107. M. Texana. Number. Agrostidea apparently widely spread in Texas
No. 108. M. gracillima, Pursey.
No. 109 & 110 M. distichophylla Nth No. 109 is a var. with long awns. In 110 the upper part of the spike is almost muticous. Wright No. 730, is the same.
No. 111 Oligocarpus gracilis Presl. I am inclined to think this is also M. distichophylla. a small conspicuous awn is present. The spikes are very dense. I don't think Oligocarpus is a good genus.
No. 112 is the same as 101.
No. 113 is M. sylvatica Pursey
No. 114 is M. new M. Berlandierii Pur: No doubt perfect to be certain of the species but it differs from M. Berlandierii in having the spikes obviously towards the top and the glumes more obtuse.
No. 115 is the same as 102.
No. 116 is Hordeum caudatus Nth var glumis non minusquam pilosis
No. 117 is Agrostis arisetus Mel Sel. with the awns unusually long.
