or CULMUS, among botanists, a straw or haulm; defined by Linnaeus to be the proper trunk of the graffes, which elevates the leaves, flower, and fruit.
This sort of trunk is tubular or hollow, and has frequently knots or joints distributed at proper distances through its whole length. The leaves are long, fleek, and placed either near the roots in great numbers, or proceed singly from the different joints of the stalk, which they embrace at the base, like a sheath or glove.
The haulm is commonly garnished with leaves: sometimes, however, it is naked; that is, devoid of leaves, as in a few species of cypres-grafs. Most graffes have a round cylindrical stalk; in some species of schoenus, scirpus, cypres-grafs, and others, it is triangular.
The stalk is sometimes entire, that is, has no branches; sometimes branching, as in jachanus aculeatus et capensis; and not seldom consists of a number of scales which lie over each other like tiles.
Lastly, in a few graffes the stalk is not interrupted with joints, as in the greater part. The space contained betwixt every two knots or joints, is termed by botanists internodium and articulus culmi.
This species of trunk often affords certain marks of distinction in discriminating the species. Thus, in the genus eriocalon, the species are scarce to be distinguished
