Apparently a native of Abyssinia in mountain regions. 
2. Panicum (VinGARIA) ACROTRICHUM, H.f.,n.sp. Debile, culmis 
gracilibus, vaginis foliisque ciliatis, foliis brevibus lanceolatis longe 
acuminatis planis longe pilosis, nervis 7-9, panicula laxa erecta, spi- 
culis parvis apice setulis strictis valvulis acutis zequilongis terminatis. - 
Hab. Cameroons Mountains, alt. 7000 feet. (Fl. Dec.) 
Gramen elegans, culmis 2-3-pedalibus foliosis lzevibus, nodis glaberrimis. 
Vagine tenues, 2-3-pollicares, glaberrime v. pilosulze, marginibus su- 
perne ciliatis, ore lanuginosu. Folia 2-4 poll. longa, 3-2 lata, plana, 
membranacea, ciliata, paginis pilis pallidis elongatis rigidis sparsa. 
Panicula effusa, laxa, 4-8-uncialis, ramis geminis apices versus 
divisis rhachique subflexuosa filiformibus levibus. Spicule parve, 
pallide, ;'; unc. longe ; valvule 5, exterior longitudine valde variabilis, 
quam secunda brevior, oblongo-lanceolata, obtusa, nuda v. setulis 1-2 
aucta; secunda ovato-lanceolata, acuminata, viridis, 7-costata, apicem. 
versus setosa, setis 2-3 terminalibus valvulam zquantibus; tertia 
secundze subsimilis sed nuda; 2 intime cymbiformes, obtuse, coriacez, 
albide, lævissimæ, 
A delicate grass, easily recognized by the 2-3 long bristles at 
the apex of the second valve of the spikelet. It is more allied in 
habit and other characters to the Cape P. equinerve, Nees, than 
to any species known to me, though that plant is placed in the 
section Virgate. 
3. Panicum (ViRGARIA) MONTICOLUM, H. f., n. sp. Debile, culmis 
gracilibus, vaginis foliisque glabriusculis, foliis brevibus lanceolatis 
acuminatis planis striatis obscure 7-nerviis, panicula laxa paucifiors 
erecta, spiculis parvis oblongis obtusis glaberrimis. 
Hab. Cameroons Mountains, alt. 7000 feet. (Fl. Feb.) 
Gramen elegans, culmis basi prostratis ramosis sulcatis demum ascenden- 
tibus 1-2-pedalibus foliosis lzvibus, nodis glaberrimis. Vagine tenues, 
1-2 unc. longz, superne setulis curvis rigidis ciliate; ore glabro.
