191a. Panicum boscii molle (Vasey) Hitchc. & Chase. 
Panicum latifolium molle Vasey U. 8S. Dept. Agr. Div. Bot. Bull. 8: 34. 1889. 
‘‘Virginia to Louisiana.’’ The type, in the National Herbarium, consists of two vernal 
plants, with softly villousculmsand sheaths, bearded nodes, and nearly mature primary 
panicles. The accompanying label in Vasey’s hand reads: ‘‘ Panicum latifolium var. 
molle Vasey, a state downy all over, Washington, D. C.,¢ L. F. Ward.” 
Panicum walteri molle Porter, Bull. Torrey Club 20: 194. 1893. Presumably based 
on P. latifolium molle Vasey, since ‘‘(Vasey)’’ is given as authority, though Vasey’s 
combination is not cited. 
a *‘Washington, D. C.,’’ was commonly given as locality for the surrounding region, 
and the specimens may have been collected on the Virginia side of the Potomac as 
indicated in the range given.
