THE GRASSES OF LINNZUS’S HERBARIUM. '85 
I have also occasionally added a few notes on some of the 
grasses of the younger Linneus, which are in the Herbariuin. 
Stoke Bishop, near Bristol, 
February 18th, 1861. 
Cinna, Sp. Pl. 1st edit. p. 5. 
1. Cinna arundinacea, L.! "The specimen is from the Upsal Garden, 
raised from seeds sent by Kalm from North America, where the 
plant is common. In the same envelope, without number or locality, 
is a specimen of Hymenachne Myurus, P. de B. 
ANTHOXANTHUM, l.c. p. 28. 
1 . A. adnatum, L. The well-known vernal grass. The only species, 
in the Herbarium, of the genus. 
2. A. Indicum is stated to be No. 25 Fl. Zeyl., which is in Her- 
mann's Herb. vol. v. fol. 29, and is Perotis latifolia, Ait., very 
fairly figured by Plukenet, t. 119. f. 1. 
3. A. paniculatum, described by Linn. as having 4-flowered spikes. 1 
am unable to decide positively what this is; but Kunth is pro- 
bably correct when he states it is a synonym of Festuca spadicea, 
Gouan. 
NAnDUS, l.c. p. 53. 
1. N. stricta, L. ! 
2. N. Gangitis is Lepturus incurvatus, Trin. The specimen collected 
~ at Montpellier. Much confusion has been occasioned by the draw- 
ings erroneously quoted by Linnæus. Lobel, Icon. 84 is one of 
leaves only, and is, I believe, Andropogon laniger, Desf. ; Morison, 
t. 13. f. 8 is Ctenium Americanum ; hence Kunth quotes N. Gan- 
gitis, Linn., as a synonym of that plant. Why the name Gangitis 
was, given to a plant collected in the South of France, it is cifficult to 
explain, except from some confusion regarding Lobel’s plant, which 
is one of those believed to produce the Nard of the ancients. The 
specimen is to be found amongst Festuca, q. v. 
“7: . . e > 
3. N. ciliaris is Ischemum leersioides, Munro in Seemann’s Herb. 
4. N. articulatus. There is no specimen of this; and it is omitted in 
the 2nd edition. 
N. aristatus, 2nd edit. p. 78, from Rome; is Psilurus nardoides, Trin. 
N. Indica, Linn. Herb., is Microchloa setacea, R. Br. 
N. Thome, Linn. Herb., is Oropetium Thomeum, Trin.
