306 Agnes Chase: Panicearum genera ac species aliter disposita IL 
irom Brasil determined. by Nees this seems to be a species related to 
- Panicum stoloniferum Poir. Plate 218 is drawn from a Brasil specimen, 
and agrees with the specimens of P. palustre in Trinius' herbarium. 
Panicle less dense than in the preceding, spikelets larger.

This species is represented in the National Herbarium by Ed wall 1066 
S. Paulo, Brasil. Other specimens apparently belonging to the same 
species have spikelets hirsute at the summit. 
18. Sacciolepis strumosa (Presl) A. Chase, l. c., p. 8. 
Panicum strumosum Presi 1830, Rel. Haenk., I, 303. „Hab. ad Monte- 
Rey Californiae.“ The type in the Presl Herbarium is labeled „Panicum 
strumosum nov. Sp. J. S. Presl^; a second slip reads ,Regno montanae, 
Haenke.* The published locality is clearly a mistake; no species of this 
group have been found in California. This species is represented in the 
National Herbarium by Burchell 4420, Brasil.

Of the several species in the National Herbarium from India received 
as Panicum indicum L., that represented by Duthie 10003 from the herb- 
arium of Prof. Hackel seems to be the true P. indicum. 
20. Sacciolepis curvata (L.) A. Chase, l. c., p. 8. 
Panicum curvatum L. 1767, Syst., Nat. ed., 12, 132. „Habitat in Su- 
ratte.“ 
?Panicum coryophorum Kunth 1831, Rev. Gram., 2, 378, t. 107. „Cres- 
cit in Madagascaria.“ Communicated by Aubert du Petit-Thouars. Kunth 
remarks that while the description of P. curvatum L. might include his 
species, it is nevertheless too brief to convince him of the identity of 
the two, especially since one is from India and the other from Mada- 
gascar. The Madagascar specimen in the National Herbarium agrees 
perfectly with Kunth’s figure, but the identity of P. curvatum L. and 
P. coryophorum Kunth can only be determined by a study of the types. 
The two are considered synonymous by Hooker, Stapf and others. This 
is the only known species with an open panicle. The spikelets closely 
resemble those of the type species, S. gibba.
