or in ravine. Spl with C. cclinatus St.
very slender, 7/10 inch high. 1/20 - 1/8 mm wide.
"A" Diff from C. cclinatus in that (1) the glumes
the short branches of infl are visible from one
side making a dainty lacy effect. (2) the
glumes of fertile flo flowers, much narrower
(almost setaceous) less regularly spaced. (3)
lemmas x glumes of fertile flos are distinctly shorter
(in better pubescent S all are sterile glumes ab initio)
similar, the lower ones merely hispid 2 spikelet
sterile flos arranged as in C. c - (i.e. spaced glumes
below but not several broad glumes at apex)
but the lower spaced glumes are fewer, narrower
(almost setaceous) less regularly spaced
and all are pubescent - hispid all over (only
slightly hispid on edges midveins or if large
closerie effect to eye [20x] is almost glabrous
in C. c - ) 3. Fertile flos arranged as in C. c - but the
thin glumes almost setaceous in C. c - 1 mm
wide) and lemmas def. pubescent (in C. c - only lightly)
the glumes not more than 2/3 as long as spikelet
(in C. c the glumes def longer than lemmas)
4. Awns of lemmas 1-1/2 as long as lemmas (in
C. c - awns of lemmas 2 1/2 - 3 times as long as lemmas
Note: in this matter C. c and C. cote is to the
contrary. Only 1 spec like this collected.
"B" Several spec collects in which awns were longer
(i.e. to 2 v perhaps nine times as long as lemmas) and
spikelets no more pubescent than in C. c but
otherwise like "A".
