54 COL. W. MUNRO ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF 
H. latifolius, l.c. 1486, from Asia, Osbeck, is Centotheca lappacea, 
Desv. This is also marked “Cenchrus lappaceus and Bambu 
Ramp." 
H. bicolor, Mant. 301, from Persia, is a form of Sorghum vulgare. Pers. 
H. pertusus, Mant. 301, is Andropogon pertusus, Willd. 
H. serratus, Linn. Herb., is Panicum serratum, R. Br. 
APLUDA, Sp. Pl. 1st edit. p. 82. 
There is much confusion about this genus. The species which appears 
in Ist edition is first described in 2nd edition Gen. Pl. (1742) as No. 
1018, Ischemum, from Scheuchz., and this is the plant described in 5th 
edition of Gen. Pl. (1754). The plant described in the 6th edition is 
Zeugites in the 8th edition, Schreber’s (1789) : it is the first Apluda ; and 
hence I suppose P. de B. has called ordinary Apluda, Calamina.
