Burchell 5886, 7703; Gardner 2978. — Two species described by Nees, 
Paspalum canaliculatum and P. fastigiatum, the types of which, both

Homolepis A. Chase, I. c., p. 146. — Inflorescentia paniculata; 
spiculae majusculae subfusiformes; glumae subaequales vel prima paulum 
longior, 7—9 nerviae, flosculos (et sterilem et fertilem) occultantes; 
lemma sterile vix glumis aequilongum, latius fertili idque amplectens et 
paleam angustam hyalinam includens atque interdum florem cum sta- 
minibus; fructus elliptieus acutus laevis nitidus; lemmate paleaque quam 
in Panico minus induratis, lemmatis marginibus planis. — Herbae pe- 
rennes, stoloniferae. nodis radicantes; culmae floriferae basi plus minusve 
decumbentes. — Nomen a óuor; similis, et 4ezí; squama. — Inflores- 
cence paniculate; spikelets rather large, subfusiform; first and second 
glume equal or the first slightly the longer, T- to 9-nerved, the pair 
wholly covering the sterile and fertile florets; sterile lemma nearly as 
long as the glumes, broad, enfolding the fertile lemma, and enclosing a 
narrow hyaline palea and sometimes a staminate flower; fruit elliptic, 
pointed, smooth and shining, the lemma and palea less indurated than in 
Panicum, the margins of the lemma flat. — Perennials, sending out long 
leafy runners, rooting at the nodes, the flowering culms more or less 
decumbent at base. Confined to the tropics of the western hemisphere. 
Name from čuoros, alike, and Aenis, scale. — Type Panicum aturense
