9-2-33 Thellung SVTI 495 Fl. German (first or new path to Cdo.) ident chiefly by ill(Cote v BoH)ligues with deaur far as now evident. If very like ill(BoH) and even more like ill(Cote) if the ill is of the primary division of fl (not whole fl). Flr 5mm long and like ill(Cote). Remains of petals not notched at tip. No evident calyx teeth as ill(BoH). Note Cote says "calice a limbe nul". R.B.K has no remembrance (beyond notes) of this plant of 9-24-31 which she thought might be S. protensis. [Or was this Meum nudellina Bacche? See 9-17-34 for Silene.] 9-2-33 Elymus europaeus L. Cote III 654, SVTI 89, = Hordeum europaeum All. BoH 546, Box 369. Flr. Hersalby. Spikelets falling as promptly that it is impract to see if central one is missing or only as desc BoH. But the very hairy sheaths, the scabrous lemmas (about 10 mm), the long awns (2.5-3 cm), the scabrous awn-like glumes (1.5cm) all seem to make ident sure [9-15-33 Unperf. Caux- hibron. All three spikelets const.] fl rudiment but at least often all 3 are fertile. Sometimes 9-2-33 Dta nemoralis L. Cote III 619, Box 362, BoH 560, 9/56, SVTI 71 Flr. Marsh at Hersalby. Very slender with awns in. Infl with its obit branches contracted so that at first glance it seems a spikes. Fls always in spikelet but with rachis prolonged behind palea (see SVT.) Otherwise agrees with desc. [9-17-33 Fl. Libram-Veytaux. Spikelets often 3-fl.] 9-2-33 Elymus Compressus Panzer SVTI 95, BoH 497 = Secipus - Pers. Cote III 472, Box 326 Flr. German
