have spikelets 3 mm. long and are P?. nofatum (Jamaica, Alerander; Trinidad, Sieber 
364, labeled P. taphrophyllum Steud.; Antigua, Wudllschlaegel). A part of Wright 
3438 in the Torrey Herbarium is P. minus and a part is P. notatum.

The type of P. nanum is Wright 176 in the Grisebach Herbarium, collected in 
“Bushy savannas, Hanabana, June 1,”’ 1865. This agrees with Wright 3866, the 
type of P. caudicatum, in the Gray Herbarium. 
The specimen in the National Herbarium is numbered 3842. The specimen in 
the Grisebach Herbarium bears the label, ‘176. Bushy savannas. Hanabana, 
June 1.” 
Spikelets sent by Professor Le Comte” from the plant supposed to be the type of 
Paspalum lindenianum Rich.» show this plant to be the same as P. nanum Wright, 
but this species does not agree with Richard’s description in so far as the blades are 
said to be glaucous and glabrous except the ciliate margins, while in P. nanum the 
blades are pubescent on the surface, Pending a further examination of the type the 
name P. nanum is retained.

As stated above, a part of Wright 3438 in the National Herbarium is this species 
and a part is P. minus Fourn. The spikelets of the species as here understood are 
about 8mm. long. The type has not been examined. The Baker & Wilson plant, 
HC 299, cited above, is larger than the other specimens, with spikelets 4 mm. long, 
and may be a distinct species. Wright’s 8438 in the Gray Herbarium is P. noltatum; 
it is labeled ‘‘Savannas Chirigote, July 11.’) This number in the Torrey Herbarium 
is part P. notatum and part P. minus.

Grisebach’s specimen is from eastern Cuba, 1859, no. 766. Nashe¢ applies this name 
to Panicum Jasciculatum Sw., but as has been shown elsewhere@ the name Paspalum 
paniculatum WL. should be applied to the Linnean plant, as heretofore, and not to 
the Sloane plate cited, through error, by Linneeus,
