Agropyron gmelini Scribn. & Smith, sp. nov. Calms 2 to 4 feet high, erect, rather
slender, glabrous, cylindrical; nodes brownish; sheaths longer than the inter-
nodes, open at the throat, glabrous, shorter than the blades; ligule very short,
membranous; culm leaves 4 or 5, the upper ones 5 to 12 inches long, linear, atten-
uate-pointed, glabrous below, scabrous on the margin and strigose or minutely
scabrous above, the radical leaves 1 to 3 inches longand 2 to 3 lines wide. Spike
slender, 4 to 10 inches long, of 10 to 20 spikelets. Spikelets 6 to 9lines long, 7- to
9-flowered, subterete or compressed; empty glumes unequal, 5 to 7 lines long,
oblong-lanceolate, acuminate and short-awned, two-thirds as long as the spike-
let; flowering glumes narrowly oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, 5 to 6 lines long,
awnedfrom or just below the apex with a slender, divergent, scabrous awn 8 to 15

This plant agrees with the figure and description of Trilicum caninum gmelini
Griseb. in Ledeb. Icon. FI. Ross. t. 248. It differs from A. direrijena leniiisph um in
having a more slender spike, awned scabrous empty glumes, upper culm leaves
longer than the basal ones, and the spikelets less strongly compressed, and erect.
It is closely related to A. riolaceum.
