The only wild specimen of the genus we have seen is that collected by Schaffner, and 
referred by Bentham to this species. By the side of the cultivated ones it is a mere 
miniature, and, if correctly named, gives us reason to suppose that there may be only 
one species. Schaffner records that is the “ Mais coyote” of the natives; a name attri- 
buted to Dripsacum fasciculatum by Galeotti (Bull. Acad. Brux. ix., reprint, p. 17).
