103. Panicum nitidum Lam. 
Panicum nitidum Lam. Tabl. Encycl. 1: 172.1791. ‘‘E Carolina. com. D. fraser,” 
The type,* in the Lamarck Herbarium, consists of a panicle and the uppermost 
joint of the culm with its leaf, the blade reflexed, the node sparsely clothed with 
reflexed hairs. This specimen does not belong to any of the species to which the 
name /, nitidum has been applied by American authors. 
Panicum nodiflorum Lam. Encycl, 4: 744. 1798. Lamarck states as to the origin 
of his specimen, ‘‘J’en posséde un exemplaire recueilli par M. Fraser dans la Caroline. 
Le citoyen Michaux I’a trouvée dans la Basse-Caroline.’”? The type, in the Lamarck 
Herbarium, is a fragment of an autumnal culm with two nodes, at each of which is 
a fascicle of branchlets with reduced leaves but devoid of spikelets. It is from 
‘*Caroline.”’ 
Panicum dichotomum nitidum Wood, Class-book ed. 3. 786. 1861. This is presum- 
ably based on P. nitidum Lam., though no synonym nor locality is cited. The short 
description seems to apply best to P. lindheimeri Nash. 
Panicum subbarbulatum Scribn. & Merr. U. 8S. Dept. Agr. Div. Agrost. Circ. 29: 
9.1901. Based on ‘*(Panieum barbulatum of Ell. Sk. Bot. 8. C. and Ga. 1: 127. 1817, 
not Michx. Fl. Bor. Am. 1: 49, 1803.) ‘The type of the species in the herbarium 
of Elliott” consists of three vernal culms lacking the base.
