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".
