Parkland where it grows very dense
like in a wheat-field. 5-6 feet high.
July 10-20. in bloom.
All these grasses with the exception of No. 25
grow in a heavy clay-soil which is predominant.
They seem to belong to Calif. exclusively; those
found only(?) at this coast or side of the Pacific
show a tendency to grow in tufts (cause of the
climate ?)

Just a day ago I received Steudel's work. I have not
been able to find No. 29, 47, 49 under their
names given in Hask. Bot. Ann. I considered them
very good, characterized spc. Also No. 7 is
now where mentioned.

1558 Elymus this form I collected late in fall
near the bay. I found it also on hills, seems to be very poly-
morphous.
