Inflorescences aggregations of sessile florets in spikelets or pseudospikelets, branching absent to compound, bracteate or ebracteate; spikelets prophyllate or not, glumes often poorly distinguished from basal bracts and lemmas, not subtending viable buds or branches, or in pseudospikelets subtending axillary buds capable of partial or extensive spikelet ramification; lodicules absent to very many, usually 3, usually ciliate, veined, posterior lodicule usually narrower than anterior pair.

花序(更多的correctlysynflorescences)集中的无梗小穗或复合的分枝无到，pseudospikelets小花，或无苞片；小穗先出叶与否，从基部的苞片和外稃卓越的不好的颖片通常，通常，许多的鳞被无到，通常具缘毛，，通常比前面对狭窄的后唇瓣鳞被。

Its main features were: the flowering branch 70~170 cm; the inflorescence is racemes or simple panicle; the axis of inflorescence is thick, and the node is distict; there are 4~5 florets in a spikelet, and the spikelet is non-stem; small rachis internodes glabrous, and the pikelet like a stick; there are 2 membrane glume; the lemma is longer or equal to the palea; there are 2 squamas, and 6 stamens; its ovarium like ovatum; there are 3 brushy tigmas; did not see the caryopsis; flowering February-March.

Spikelets oblong, 7–9 mm, florets separated by short rachilla internode not more than 0.6 mm; glumes lanceolate, apex acute; lower glume 4–6 mm, upper glume equal to spikelet, punctiform scabrid; lemmas oblong-lanceolate, 7–9 mm, sparsely pubescent in lower 1/3 or glabrous, scabrid in upper 1/3; awn of lower lemma 1–2 cm, arising from lower 1/3 of lemma back; awn of upper lemma 1–2 mm, arising above middle or near apex.

小穗长圆形，7-9毫米，小花以短分开小穗轴不超过0.6毫米；颖片披针形，先端锐尖；更低的颖片4-6毫米，等于小穗，点状粗糙的上面颖片；长圆状披针形的外稃，7-9毫米，疏生短柔毛在下部1/3的或无毛，在上面1/3粗糙；更低的外稃的芒1-2厘米，生于更低的1/3的外稃背面；上面外稃的芒1-2毫米，出现在中部以上或者近先端。

The distribution of vascular bundle in the rachises of spikelet in different parts of ear had difference,and the number and area of

穗中不同部位小穗的穗轴中的维管束分布有差异；同一小穗中通向各小花的维管束数目和面积也不同。

Spikelets similar, lanceolate, dorsally compressed; callus bearded with hairs shorter than, as long as, or longer than the spikelet; glumes papery or membranous; lower floret usually represented by a hyaline sterile lemma; upper floret bisexual, lemma hyaline, awned or awnless.

小穗相似，披针形，背压扁；胼胝体具髯毛的具毛短于，倍于，比小穗或更长；颖片纸质的或膜质；通常被一透明的不育的外稃描述的更低的小花；上面小花阴阳人，外稃透明，具芒的或awnless。

Inflorescence spikelike, cylindrical, composed of spiny or bristly deciduous burrs arranged along an angular, often sinuous rachis; burrs sessile or with an obconical basal stipe, each composed of 1 or more sessile spikelets surrounded by an involucre of spines and bristles; bristles flexuous or more often spinous,± flattened, grooved on the outer face, united below, the degree of union varying from a small basal disk to a deep cupule, inner spines or bristles often ciliate around spikelets. Spikelets lanceolate, acute; glumes unequal, shorter than spikelet, lower sometimes suppressed; lower floret membranous, staminate or neuter; upper floret firmer, protogynous.

花序穗状，圆筒状，由落叶的毛刺沿着一具角安排的具刺的或具刚毛，通常波状的轴组成；毛刺无梗或具基部的倒锥状柄，每一个由1无梗或更多组成以总苞的刺和刚毛包围；或更多的刚毛曲折通常spinous，多少扁平，在外面上具凹槽，下面的合生，协会的度从一小的基部的花盘变化到一深的壳斗，小穗披针形，锐尖；不等长的颖片，短于小穗，降低有时压抑；更低的小花膜质，雄蕊花的或中性；坚定的上面小花，雌蕊先熟。

Spikelets 3.8–4.5 mm, usually purple tinged; glumes glabrous, veins scaberulous; lower glume 2.5–3 mm, 3–5-veined; upper glume as long as spikelet, 5-veined; lower floret staminate, as long as lower glume; upper floret 2.2–3 mm, lemma apex subentire, awned; awn geniculate with brown twisted column, 2.7–5 mm; callus hairs ca. 1/2 length of lemma.

小穗3.8-4.5毫米，通常，紫色微染；颖片无毛，脉；更低的颖片2.5-3毫米，3-5脉；上面颖片倍于小穗，5脉；雄蕊花的下部的小花，倍于更低的颖片；上面小花2.2-3毫米，外稃先端，具芒；用棕色的盘旋的柱子，2.7-5毫米膝曲的芒；约的胼胝体毛1/2段外稃。

Spikelets 2-flowered, florets dissimilar, the lower bisexual, the upper female, separated by a slender rachilla internode; glumes persistent, subequal, shorter than the spikelet, 1–7-veined, broadly obtuse; lemmas both membranous, veinless or obscurely veined, glabrous or pubescent, obtuse, the upper a little shorter than the lower; palea similar to lemma.

小穗2花，不同的小花，两性的下部，上面雌性，被一纤细的小穗轴节间分开；颖片宿存，近等长，短于小穗，1-7脉，宽钝；外稃两膜质，无脉或不明显，无毛或被短柔毛，钝，这上面小短于低的；内稃类似于外稃。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
