Cinna

(Caius Helvius Cinna), d. 44 B.C., Roman tribune. At the funeral of Julius Caesar the mob mistook him for Lucius Cornelius Cinna and killed him. He was probably the minor poet Cinna, a friend of Catullus and author of the epic Smyrna (of which fragments survive).

Cinna

a genus of plants of the family Gramineae. The perennial grasses have a creeping rhizome. The leaf blades are flat and broad, and the single-flowered spikelets are in a loose panicle. The upper glumes are linear-lanceolate and single-veined; the lemma is lanceolate and greatly flattened laterally. Below the top of the lemma are short pointed or sharp barbs. There is a single stamen. The genus has three species, which are distributed in the temperate belt of the northern hemisphere and in the mountains of South America as far south as Peru. One species—C. latifolia —is found in the USSR, growing in damp shady coniferous and mixed forests. It is a good feed crop.
