HITCHCOCK AND CHASE—TROPICAL NORTH AMERICAN PANICUM. 471 ' 
10. Panicum molle Swartz. 
Panicum molle Swartz, Prodr. Veg. Ind. Occ. 22. 1788; Contr. U. 8. Nat. Herb. 15: 
42. 1910. 
DISTRIBUTION. 
Open ground, often a weed in fields, Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico, and Central America 
to Argentina. The type from the West Indies, probably Jamaica. Since at the time 
the revision of Panicum ! was prepared we had no specimens of the species from the 
West Indies, we doubted the accuracy of the locality given by Swartz. This species 
proves, however, to be net uncommon in the vicinity of Kingston, Jamaica.
