HITCHCOCK—GRASSES OF CUBA. 2038 
298. This species is represented in the Gray Herbarium by Wright 3846, a number 
which is not mentioned in Sauvalle’s Flora Cubana. P. hellert Nash of Porto: Rico 
differs in having somewhat smaller pubescent spikelets. 
14. Paspalum hemicryptum Wright, Anal. Acad. Cienc. Habana 8: 204, 1871; 
Sauv. Fl. Cub. 196. 
Paspalum inops Vasey, Contr. Nat. Herb. 1: 281. 1893. 
Low savannas, El Salado, August, Wright 3847. 
The type of P.inops Vasey (Palmer 592 from Guadalajara, Mexico, in the National 
Herbarium) agrees with Wright’s type in the Gray Herbarium. 
15. Paspalum lineare Trin. Gram, Pan. 99. 1826. 
Herradura, Baker 3459; Isle of Pines, Curtiss 379. 
The type in the Trinius Herbarium is from Brazil, collected by Langsdorff, and is 
included in the same cover with P. angustifolium Nees. Trinius published the latter 
name on the same page of the work cited, but preceding P. lineare on the page. The 
type is said to be from ‘‘Brazil (N. ab Esenb.).” The type specimen is labeled 
“Paspalum angustifolium N. ab Es. In Brasilia. Mis Auctore.” This specimen, 
however, is not P. lineare, but has, as described, smaller spikelets with rugose trans- 
versely wrinkled glumes. P. angustifolium as described three years later? is the 
same as P. lineare Trin., while variety / is P. angustifolium as described by Trinius. 
Consequently P. neesii Kunth is a typonym of P. angustifolium, since Kunth changes 
the name of the latter on account of the earlier P. angustifolium Le Conte, but the 
name does not apply to the Cuba plant under consideration. 
16. Paspalum lividum Trin.; Schlecht. Linnaea 2: 383. 1854. 
Habana, Leon 272, 571, Tracy 9119; Marianao, Leon 588. 
This Mexican species is probably a recent introduction into Cuba. The type 
from Hacienda de la Laguna, Mexico, Schiede, in the Trinius Herbarium, is included 
in the cover of P. denticulatum Trin., but the two specimens are not the same species. 
The latter has larger spikelets. 
17. Paspalum millegrana Schrad.; Schult. Mant. 2: 175. 1824.¢ 
Paspalum underwoodii Nash, Bull. Torr, Club 830: 375. 1903. 
Paspalum lentiginosum Presl, err. det. Mez in Urban, Symb. Antill. 4: 82, 1903. 
Habana, Tracy 9121; without locality, Wright 3840. 
The Sauvalle specimen is also numbered 170. As I have not examined Schrader’s 
type the reference to this is only provisional and based on description. Our specimens 
are the same as P. vulnerans Salzm., from Bahia, as distributed to the National Her- 
barium. Other specimens in the National Herbarium to be referred here are: Porto 
Rico: Britton & Cowell 1449, Heller 4368, Goll 923, Underwood & Griggs 149, Jamaica: 
Britton 841 in Herb. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 
18. Paspalum minus Fourn. Mex. Pl. 2:6. 1886. 
Herradura, Baker & Abarea HC 4180, Tracy 9093, Hitchcock in 1906; Isle of Pines, 
Palmer & Riley, 978; without locality, Wright 3438; Guanabacoa, Leon 117 in part; 
La Magdalena, Baker 2. The following are in the herbarium of the New York Botan- 
ical Garden: Sagua, Britton & Wilson in 1903; Pinar del Rio, Shafer 477; Isle of 
Pines, Curtiss in 1904. 
These agree with the duplicate type in the National Herbarium (Mexico, Bourgeau 
2298). The spikelets are about 2mm. long. Wright's 3438 in the National Herbarium 
is partly this and partly P. notatum. Grisebach’s specimen, from western Cuba, 
1863, numbered ‘(936=3438,"’ is all P. minus. The other specimens in this cover
