As defined by Déll., this species is found in the South-eastern States of North 
America, and includes the Panicum viscidum, Elliott.

South Mexico, Oaxaca (ex Steudel), Orizaba (Botteri, 500; Miller, 2027), Colipa 
- (Karwinski), Pital near the Rio Nantla (Liebmann, 285). 
We have seen no specimens which we could refer with certainty to this species, but 
there is a specimen in the Kew Herbarium (Liebmann, 123) from the locality cited by 
Fournier, which agrees fairly well with Steudel’s description as far as it goes. The 
sets of Liebmann’s plants in different herbaria appear to be all differently numbered.

Fournier doubtingly refers Bourgeau’s plant to this species, which is recorded by 
Desvaux from San Domingo and New Spain, and by Steudel from Mexico.
