A sheet in the National Herbarium of Wright 3860 and another marked ‘Cuba 
3860,’’ which appears to be a Wright plant although there is no Wright label, are in 
part P. diffusum. In the Grisebach Herbarium are three specimens marked, respec- 
tively, ‘‘In the edge of woods and margin of savannas, Hanabana, May 29,’’ 1865, with 
the secondary number 191; no. 1540 from eastern Cuba, 1859; and ‘‘edge of savannas, 
Hanabana, May 19,”’ in 1865, with the secondary number 190. Wright’s 3877 in the 
Sauvalle Herbarium and in the Torrey Herbarium is part P. exiguiflorum.

Grisebach’s specimen from eastern Cuba, 1860, is numbered ‘‘104=3452.’’ Another 
specimen, included by Grisebach under Panicum stenodes, is labeled, ‘‘ Bushy savan- 
nas, Hanabana, May 16, in small tufts,”’ no. 285. A third specimen, ‘‘Savannas of 
Guamaroca, July 25,” no. 284, is also included under P. stenodes. A part of Wright 
3870 in the National Herbarium belongs to this species. The type of Richard’s species 
in the herbarium of the Museum at Paris agrees with Scribner’s type from Guanica, 
Porto Rico,@ a part of which is in the National Herbarium. Nash’s description 
applies to these specimens and his type (Sintenis 3463) was also collected at Guanica, 
Porto Rico. Sintenis’s 3365 and 3416, from Guanica, Porto Rico, also belong to this 
species.

Widely clambering over bushes. The two specimens of this in Grisebach’s her- 
barium, called by him P. divaricatum, are ‘‘ Prope villam Monte Verde dictam, Cuba 
orientalis,’’ no. 747, and another labeled 747a@. These are both smooth throughout. 
Besides these there are twospecimens with pubescent blades, which Grisebach calls 
P. divaricatum variety puberulum.6 One is labeled ‘In sylvis densis, Matanzas, Cuba,
