D. Leers, a German botanist; hexandra, Greek hexa, six; aner, andros, a man (botany, stamen), in allusion to the six stamens. Vernacular name. -" Rice Grass. " Where figured. Bailey. Botanical description (B. Fl. , vii, 549). An erect though wean glabrous grass, attaining several feet, often rooting in the mud at the lower nodes. Leaves rather narrow, flat when fresh, mostly erect. Panicle oblong, 2 to 4 inches long, with erect or slightly spreading filiform flexuose branches. Spikelets narrow-...ovate, about 1^ lines long. Glumes membranous, acute, the outer one with a prominent nerve on each side besides the marginal one ; the inner glume nearly as long, but narrower, with only one nerve on each side near the margin. Stamens six. Value as a fodder. This grass is closely allied to that which pro- duces rice. It is a semi-aquatic grass which is so sparingly distributed in this Colony that we know but little of it from a pastoral point of view, but it is not likely ever to be important to the raiser of stock.
