recurved, the lower lanceolate segments projecting forward with a slight curve) exactly as in BV# III. 2. The tendency of axillary inflorescences to be longer than petiole and for florets to project beyond the subtending leaf. These characters are true of the upper florets and I think true of the lower florets but sometimes not true of the lowest. In upper florets the peduncle is certainly abortive, but even then the effect is not "flat folded". In shape of edges of florets; shape of calyx and leaves of plant (soft spreading hairs on low and stiff R.B.) I can see no differences. A. Floret developing from Val-Mont fern. Corolla light pinkish, 10mm long, projecting 5mm beyond calyx tube. Anthers developed but almost sterile, included in the tube and white with no pollen. B. Floret developing from Rd -> Au massillon above Flanagan. Corolla bright deep color, 14-15mm long and projecting 10-12mm beyond calyx tube. Stamens developed (the outer pair projecting beyond the tube up under the upper lip; the inner pair much shorter and included) with anthers fully developed with thick connective and discrete purple cells which discharge white pollen. 8-24-34 Bromus asper Murr. Coletti 645; Bon 367 = B. ramosus Huds. BV# 530; SV# I 79 Rd vlg. Rd to Au massillon above Flanagan. A. sep. euramonus (Solt) with sheaths of upper leaf, subtending
