HITCHCOCK—GRASSES OF CUBA. 205 
I have not seen the type of this species, but in the Trinius Herbarium there is a 
specimen labeled ‘Paspalum papillosum Sprengel, mis. cl. auctor.’”? The Cuban 
plants agree with this, except that the spikelets are less glandular, the flat surface 
being quite glabrous. Agreeing with Sprengel’s specimen are two in the Trinius 
Herbarium, one collected by Salzmann in Bahia labeled ‘‘ Paspalum horticola.meri- 
tima Salzm.’’ and another by Riedel at Bahia in 1831. Tonduz’s 4474 from Costa Rica 
belongs here. Wright’s 3444 in the Torrey Herbarium is P. papillosum.
