Inflorescence c. 10 cm long, on a stout peduncle usually well-exserted, with tubercle hairs especially below the panicle. Spikelets 2.2 mm long, numerous. Glumes almost
similar. Lower glumes 1.2 mm long, broad, blunt, 5-nerved, nerves anastomosing, clasping the base of the spikelet. Lower glume 9-nerved, nerves anastomosing towards
the tip, boat-shape, acute. Florets: lower floret neuter; lemma 2 mm long, boat- shaped, 7-nerved; palea 1.8 mm long, ovate, transparent, thin, 2-nerved; upper floret
hermaphrodite; lemma 1.3 mm long, boat-shaped, indurated, 7-nerves, the nerves anastomosing, the tip rounded; palea 1.2 mm long, similarly textured. Stamens 3.
Anthers 1 mm long. Stigmata 2. Caryopsis 1.5 mm long, enclosed within the hardened lemma and palea.

Panicum montanum Roxb., Fl. Ind. 1: 315. 1820. Plants perennial, caespitose, rooting from lower nodes. Culms c.100 cm long,
erect, or scrambling. Nodes glabrous. Sheaths 6 cm long, tubercle-based hairs, without keels. Ligule less than 0.5 mm long, a ciliolate membrane. Blades 16 cm long by 30
mm long, lanceolate-acuminate, with scattered bulbous-based hairs on both surface, scabrid towards the acute tip, base broad, abruptly cordate from a narrow attachment to

terete. Spikelets 2.6 mm long, numerous, ovoid, acute. Glumes similar, reaching apex of florets, thinner than fertile lemma. Lower glume 2.4 mm long, not quite clasping,
ovate-acute, 5-nerved, the margins ciliate. Upper glume 2.3 mm long, ovate-acute, 5- nerved, glabrous. Florets: basal sterile florets neuter, without significant palea. Lower
floret neuter; lemma 5-nerved 2.2 mm long, boat-shaped; palea absent. Upper floret hermaphrodite; lemma 1.7 mm long, indurated, boat-shaped, nerves obscure; palea 1.6

Plants perennial, floating, rooting at the nodes. Culms 75 cm long, erect at first afterwards creeping or floating. Nodes glabrous; internodes hollow. Sheaths 7 cm
long, smooth terete, ribbed when dry. Ligule 4 mm long, the base a narrow continuous rim, the rest a fringe of bristles. Blades 21 cm long by 11 mm long, linear-lanceolate,
flat, base rounded, apex acute. Inflorescence 23 cm long, a panicle, glabrous, all branches flattened, scabrid on the margins, primary with well developed cushions in
the axils. Spikelets 3.3 mm long, many, on slender stalks nearly parallel to the axis which bears them, pointed; appressed, solitary. Fertile spikelets pedicelled; pedicels 5-
7 mm long, scaberulous; comprising 1 basal sterile florets, 1 fertile florets, without rachilla extension; lanceolate, dorsally compressed, falling entire. Glumes dissimilar,
reaching apex of florets, thinner than fertile lemma. Lower glume 0.8 mm long, clasping the spikelet, apex truncate. Upper glume 3 mm long, ovate-acute, 7-nerved.
