55x25mm, never labeled, almost entire slightly toothed above widest point (above the deltoid face); leaves smaller but lanceolate sharp pointed & entire. Infl might be called blue green. Clusters have effect of being spherical? Perianth meal; sep white w edges with pronounced green line. (the edges sometimes turning pinkish.) Seed horizontal, its edge hardly sharp, smooth & clining fully 15mm diam. Next best guess is some form of Calamagrostis. See SVK II 95. Crataegus 9-8-31 Crataegus monogyna L. (see 8-17-31) Fr. Caux. Calyx lobes & C. monogyna Jacq. too very clining above. Fr larger (cm high). Calyx lobes few erect. Pedicels of fr glabrous 9-8-31 Crataegus monogyna Jacq. (see 5-21-31) Fr. Caux. Too dull. Fr smaller than C. O. - (7-8mm high). Calyx lobes very strongly reflexed. Pedicels of fr with few spreading white hairs. 9-8-31 Inulinia caerulea Moench (see 7-11-31) Fr. Caux, 3ft (very much higher, too 1cm wide). This is the purple-fl grass not rare in damp waysides at V-M. I frequently puzzled over. Seems no doubt of ident. Spec 7-11-31 is remembered as clusters and as remembered there's no light on this.
