Transcription
"The glomeris are somewhat smaller than in the Type & the leaves [6"-7"] shorter, minutely pubescent below the axillary geniculation, the upper portion plumose with silky hairs, about half as long as in the European forms which are much shorter towards the apex. Underdeveloped specimens of what may prove to be Elymus hyalinus, Nee. were collected at Painted Camp by Dr Bryelow (also No 1999 Wright ?)"
