distantibus (spatio inter ramum infimum et superpositum ca. 4 em.) primo 
erectis postea patentibus demum reflexis composite ; panicule rhachis 
excavata glabra, ramuli complanati glabri pro more spiculam terminalem 
gerentes, — Spicule subdistantes biseriate: sed unilaterales fere sessiles 
majuseul: circa 44 mm. long pallide vel interdum parce coloratee ; gluma 
prima glabra spicula duplo brevior amplectens acuta vel subacuta pro more 
T-nervis tenuis ; gluma secunda et tertia ovato-oblonga acuta 3-nervis (nervis 
acute prominentibus) dorso breviter apice ad margines longius pilosa ; gluma 
quarta (glumella) paulo brevior 31 mm. longa subacuta elliptico-oblonga 
lovis sed haud nitens obscure 3-nervis minutissime rugulosa glabra. 
N.W. Australia: inter fl. Ashburton et De Gray, collegit Dr. E. Clement. 
Species distineta prope P. distachyum, L., cui est similis, inserenda, sed 
differt przter alia spieulis majoribus hirsutis. А P. piligero, F. Muell., 
Australie borealis incola, facile dignoscitur glabritie et foliis brevibus 
lanceolatis. 
PANICUM CLEMENTI, Domin, sp. п. (Series IIl. Paspaloidee, Bentham, 
vil. 464.) 
Verosimiliter annuum ; culmi basi valde ramosi et decumbentes geniculatim 
ascendentes et deinde ereeti cum paniculis circa 30 usque 35 em. alti glabri 
sepius usque ad paniculam foliati plurinodi. Folia laminis planis mollibus 
linearibus longe acuminatis glabris vix scaberulis circa 9-12 em. longis et 
3-4% mm. latis nervo medio albido percursis et vaginis tenuibus glabris sepe 
subpatentibus instructa ; ligule in cilias dissolutee ; lamina folii eulmei 
supremi panieule apicem haud raro attingens. Panicula elongata plus 
10 em. (et interdum usque 15 em.) longa, panicule rami alterni distantes 
suberecti (пес patentes), infimi sat longi (usque 4 em.) a basi spiculigeri 
parum ramulosi ramulis perbrevibus adpressis instrueti, superiores sub- 
simplices vel vix ramulosi breviores spiculas haud numerosas irregulariter 
dispositas (?. e. series conspicuas haud efformantes) gerentes; paniculwe 
rhachis glabra lwevisque, rami vix applanati tenues ad angulos scabri, 
ramorum rhachis aristiformis spieulam supremam fulerans interdum superans. 
Spieule pallidee subsessiles parvee tantum 2 mm. vel paulo plus longze oblonge 
ellipticee obtuse ; gluma prima membranacea 3-nervis subobtusa glabra 
1-12 mm. longa; gluma secunda et tertia subequales ovate obtusiusculee 
obtuseve glabree membranacee, secunda nervis 5 viridibus perfectis et 
2 imperfectis, tertia nervis З viridibus perfectis et 2 parte superiore 
evanescentibus striata; gluma quarta (glumella) obiusiuseula vel subacuta 
elliptica fere 2 mm. longa minute rugulosa (fere lævi) haud manifeste nervosa 
amplectens ; palea subbrevior arcte adpressa laevis. 
N.W. Australia : inter fl. Ashburton et Yule, collegit Dr. E. Clement, cui 
speciem hane dedico. 
P. Clementit prope P. prostratum, Lam. inserendum erit, sed haud est huic 
arcte affine.
