The comparatively short rhizome is subrepent and sublignous. The sheaths are densely and villosely hirsute, the vetust ones whole. The plant may reach a height of 80 cm. The senile leaves vary according to habitat: those growing in insolated sites are 8-9 cm long, those in shaded localities may attain 15 cm. In general, they are 2 mm wide, greenish or superiorly glaucescent, with a small auricle, their entire surface covered with cilia. The ligulae are abrupt, marginally weakly crenate, 0.4 mm long. The juvenile blades are longer, even 25 cm long, 1.5-1.8 mm wide, explanate or convolute, and also ciliate throughout. The culm is foliose to about half its length. The uppermost culm-leaf is about 6 cm long, 2.5 mm wide, with 15 cm long sheaths. The vaginae are pubescent. The culm may attain a height of 60 cm, and a thickness of 1.5 mm, pubescent below the panicle. This latter is loosely lobate, about 11 cm long, at flowering time 2.5, and subsequently 1.2 cm wide. The rachi are hirsute. The spiculae are long up to 6.8 mm, 2-3-florate, glahrescent to hirsute. The glumae are subequal, the lower ones 5 mm, the upper ones 6 mm long. The lemmae are 6 mm long, their surface scabriusculous or hirsute ; the paleae are 6 mm long. As is to be seen also from the diagnosis, the plant is a high grade polyploid member of the Series Molles. Its nomenclature, however, is extremely confused. It was primarily mixed up with the high grade polyploid members of the Series Ciliatae UJH., inhabiting the Alps, concealing at least three species under the names Koeleria cristata (L.) PERS., and Koeleria pyramidata (LAM.) DOM. The original description given by LAMARCK is in itself very short. Under the name Poa pyramidata, the following diagnosis is given: "Poa panicula pyramidalis glumis laevibus nitidis muticis triiloris, vaginis villoso pubescentibus. Cult, in II.IT a.]), cristata distinctis spec." In view of the fact that the sheaths of the alpicolous Koeleria lamarckiana ÚJHELYI, together with those of Koeleria kerneri ÚJHELYI, are invariably glabrous, the same as their blades, LAMARCK had in all probability reared in the Botanical Gardens at Paris, a specimen deriving from the north of France or from some other locality where Koeleria mollis MANN grows, and not one from the Alps. The description at least implies as much. On the basis of MANN'S holotype, the name Koeleria mollis MANN can be applided to this species only; nor was it
