Not illustrated. 1859 Excerpt: ...near Woolwich, and on the coast of Essex. Its stem is about a foot high, and it bears in July its close purplish panicle. Its leaves are somewhat broader than those of the last species, and of bright green, and it has a creeping root. (Plate 251, fig. 6.) 13. Calamagrostis (Small-reed). 1. C. Epigejos (Wood Small-reed.)--Panicle upright; spikelets crowded; glumes awl-shaped, rough; awn of outer-glumella nearly as long as the glume; hairs much longer than the awn. Perennial. This is a handsome. though rigid plant, with a round erect stem, sometimes five feet high; and narrow acute leaves, hairy on the inner, and smooth on the outer sides. The green onesided panicle is more or less tinged with brown, with silky hairs, and about half a foot long; flowering in July.

It is somewhat local, but the author has found it in woods near Hythe in Kent, growing to the height of five feet. (Plate 252, fig. 2.) 3. C. striata (Narrow Small-reed).--Panicle erect, close; glumes acute, rough on the keel; glumellas as long as the glumes, longer than the h...
