190. Panicum latifolium L. 
Panicum latifolium L. Sp. Pl. 58. 1753. ‘Habitat in America.’’ The type, in 
the Linnean Herbarium, is a portion of a vernal culm with two leaves and a short- 
exserted but well-developed primary panicle.¢ 
Milium latifolium Moench, Meth. Pl. 204. 1794. Based on Panicum latifolium L. 
Panicum macrocarpon LeConte in Torr. Cat. Pl. N, Y. 91.1819. No locality nor 
specimen is cited. In the Torrey Herbarium is a specimen with the following label 
a For a full discussion of the reasons for considering this specimen to be the type, 
see Hitchcock, Contr. Nat. Herb. 12: 118. 1908. The reasons are briefly: In the 
Linnean Herbarium are two sheets upon which Linneus has written the name. One 
of these, which is Panicum zizanioides H. B. K., was received from Browne after the 
preparation of the manuscript of the Species Plantarum. The second sheet includes 
two vernal specimens, Panicum macrocarpon LeConte, and P. clandestinum L. The 
first of these is taken as the type as it corresponds better to the description. The sheet 
marked ‘17 K latifolium,’? meaning that the specimens were received from Kalm 
and the species is no. 17, P. latifolium, in the Species Plantarum. Appended to the 
original description, Linneus cites two synonyms, one from Morison, which is prob- 
ably P. boscii Poir., and one from Sloane, which is P. sloanei Griseb. The Sloane 
specimen is considered by some authors to be the type of P. latiolium, but the Sloane 
synonym is erroneously cited.
