The® uc at least three morphological type« of this specie*, my opinion of this «ample is aided
(die identification of die types is moat reliable in die field, as many of the diagnostic features aie
drawn from the overall habit of the plants):
1.	tig type' with tall (ap tol4 m), stoni, unbranched culms round in transection, and with long
•nd wide leaf-blades which often droop at their tips.
2.'small	lypt' with thoner (< 10 m), moie «lender and frequently branching culm« which «re _
oval m tranection nar the summt, wilh a patch of trinhomes on die «heath below the leaf-
blade, and with rigid, often caulescent leaf-blades.
riyjnurmtdtau typt' with characteristics of both of die above-mentioned types.
