This grass, which is usually regarded as a form of the very widely diffused P. 
sanguinale, is common in tropical America, including Mexico and CenTRAL AMERICA. 
Respecting its claim to specific rank, Fournier says :—“ Differt a P. sanguinali, Linn., 
non colore spicularum, qui variabilis, viridis aut violascens in utraque specie, nec inflo- 
rescentia, nam in speciminibus americanis rami tum verticillati, tum corymbosi, sed 
gluma superiore acuminata dimidiam spiculam superante, non equante. Preterea 
palea et gluma superior non solum puberule, sed margine et apice lacero-villose, pilis 
marginalibus pale neutrius primum appressis, dein patulis. Interdum gluma superior 
quasi bifida videtur.”
