long. Also this measurement fluctuates according to the altitude. These blades are rather expanding, attenuating gradually into a mucronate apex; the sheath is auriculate, the ligule bilaterally ciliate. The ligule is 0.8— 1 cm long, rounding, its margins pilose. The base of the culm is never incrassate, and puberulous below the panicle. This latter is rather oval or slightly pyramidal, mottled. Against the violetgreyish green glumae and lemmae, the palea is snow-white. Their sizes also vary in accordance with the altitude of the locality. It is usually 3— 5 cm long, attaining even 6 cm'whereas it is merely 1.5 cm long on the upper border of its range. Its loose, lobate state is the result of the development of the primary and secondary pedicels. These latter are minutely and densely hairy. The spikelet is at most 5 cm long, glabrous, greyish-violet, squatter than those of the preceding Series. The glumae are slightly unequal. The lower is 3.8 mm long, the upper one aristate, 4.9 mm long, the lemma 4— 4.5 mm long, also strongly aristulate, the palea 4 mm long, bicarinato, hyaline (Plate I, Fig. 4). In the epidermal structure of the leaf, the costal zone is very weakly, the intercostal one strongly, developed, with vestiges of the macro-hairs. The measurements of the cells, as well as those of the entire plant, refer to diploidy (eventually tetraploidy). The area of the plant is restricted in Transylvania to the SE and S Carpathians. It inhabits only the alpine and subalpine regions. Specimina examinata: In Carpal, orient., in montibus Ceahläu. In rupibus calcareo-cong. montis Tosca. Alt. 1800—1900 m.s.m., 26 Aug., 1955, T.
