" spires 2-3, the lower often distinctly short
peduncled, the upper often with infl in upper
part, lvs 4-5 mm wide. Lower bract suff folaceous
always exceeding its spire v sometimes reaching
well toward the tip of infl, no sheath. Stigmas all
fallen but the decidedly lenticular seed indicates
that they were 2.
5-25-34 Salix triandra L. (see 5-5-34) F2, Path Villeneuve
-> La Tranquette edge greeds with Cardamine amara of
5-25-34. Traced in S & K Costa. Looks exactly like ill Costa
except stypules (now) small (2x1 mm). Channels on
young shoots just visible to eye but very evident 20X.
[8-17-34 prof of f2 La Tranquette presumably S. triandra, lvs
almost as white as S. alba beneath but glabrous. See B & H]
5-25-34 ? Festuca arundinacea Seliet. Costa III 635,
Bon 368, S & K 79, B & H II # 464. Earlyfl. Causeway
Rhône Bridge -> Noville. (Collected with the mistaken idea
that it was a Vlyceria). Key S & K brings one to this ident.
Infl 25 cm high, now contracted but has possibilities
of resembling B & H III. The longer lower branches are
sometimes compound as ill, the shorter lower branches
simple with 3 spikeslets. Lemma broadly scarious
at the acute tips. Duesy whitish later as this margin
shows less plainly the lemma; the def. midrif would
be prominent (like in Olystans). The mid rib is scarcely
"scabrid" v seems unlikely to look like ill "D." or "E"
Legule 1 mm or less high, ± lacerate. Earst evident. Lf-blade
very suffly on edge where it joins the sheath.
