22. Panicum philadelphicum Bernh. 
Panicum capillare sylvaticum Torr. Fl. North. & Mid. U. 8. 149. 1824, not P. 
sylvaticum Lam. 1798. ‘‘In dry woods near New York.’’ The type is in Columbia 
University Herbarium. 
Panicum philadelphicum Bernh.; Trin. Gram. Pan. 216. 1826. This is mentioned 
by Trinius as a variety of P. capillare, similar to his 8 [P. flerile], but with spikelets 
only acute [not acuminate as in the others], ‘‘misit s. n. 
Pan, philadelphict sibt cl. BERNHARDI.’? Enough description 
is given to technically constitute publication. Nees later 
describes the species more fully. The type, in the Trinius 
Herbarium, is from Philadelphia, sent by Bernhardi. On 
the same sheet is a specimen of P. flerile from the same 
source, but a drawing by Trinius with the name of P. phila- 
delphicum indicates which specimen is the type.

8: 497. 1885. Based on P. capillare sylvaticum Torr. Fournier’s description > does 
not apply to this species and a specimen in the Fournier Herbarium, cited by him 
under this name, is P. bulbosum. 
Panicum capillare minimum Engelm.; Gattinger, Tenn. Fl. 94. 1887. No definite 
locality in Tennessee is mentioned. The type in the Gattinger Herbarium bears the 
name in Gattinger’s writing and the data ‘‘Greenbriar, Sept. ’78. A. Gattinger.”’ 
This name is initialed ‘‘F. L. S.’’ by Scribner, hence the same name published¢ 
later by him is also based on this specimen. 
Panicum minimum Scribn. & Merr. U. 8. Dept. Agr. Div. Agrost. Circ. 27: 4. 
1900. Based on P. capillare minimum Engelm. 
Panicum soboliferum Tuckerm.; Scribn. & Merr. Rhodora 3: 106. 1901. This is 
given as a synonym under P. minimum. Tuckerman’s specimen, in the Gray Her- 
barium, is from ‘‘ Head of Lake Memphremagog, Vt., Sept. 1859.”’
