Notes
[The glumes and lower lemma are usually glabrous, but a few specimens bear a tuft of tubercle-based hairs at the tip of the lower lemma. in var. hensii (De Wild.) C. E. Hubbard ex Pichi-Sermolli (1951) (var. trichantha (Peter) C. E. Hubbard ex Hutch. in F.W.T.A., ed. 1, 2: 544) an East African variety recorded from Sierra Leone in our area, the glumes are pilose with tubercle-based hairs.]
