48 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. 
There are two specimens and two labels on the sheet. 
One, in Presl’s handwriting, reads ‘* Panicum pubescens 
Michx,’’ and doubtless applies to the smaller specimen 
which is identical with specimens in the Nat. Herb. from 
Washington, e. g. No. 3978, A. A. & E. Gertrude Heller 
1898. The other label reads ‘* 77 Panicum pubescens 
Ell. 1833, Beyrich.’’ This applies to the second specimen 
which must have come from the southern or southwestern 
States, and is Panicum angustifolium Ell. The other 
specimen does not fully agree with any of our eastern 
species and may well be named P. OCCIDENTALE 
Scribn. nom. nov. P. pubescens Presl, not Lam. nor 
Michx. 
Panicum strpatuM J. S. Presl in C. B. Presl Rel. Haenk. 
1: 297 (1830). ‘* Hab. in Mexico, Luzon?’’ = Synthe- 
risma setosa (Desv.) Nash. Digitaria setosa Desv. 
Hamil. Prod. Pl. Ind. Occ. 6 (1825). The spikelets in 
Presl’s specimen are a very little (about 0.2 mm. ) longer 
than in the West Indian plant represented by 764 C. 
Wright, but otherwise I can detect no difference. No. 
3049 E. W. Nelson, from Chiapas, Mex., 1895, is the 
same. — Plate 22. 
PANICUM TRICHANTHUM Nees, J. S. Presl in C. B. Presl 
Reliq. Haenk. 1:309 (1830). ‘* Hab. in Mexico.’’ = 
Panicum brevifolium Linn. Sp. Pl. 59. No. 1758 E. 
Palmer, Mexico, 1891. 
PASPALUM ATTENUATUM J. S. Presl in C. B. Pres] Reliq. 
Haenk. 1:212 (1830). ‘*Hab. in montanis Peruviae 
huanoccensibus.’’ See P. scoparium Fligge. Properly 
belongs to Syntherisma. — Plate 8. 
PASPALUM BRACTEATUM Presl in herb. Paspalum bracteatum 
is only a herbarium name, and the sheet thus ticketed con- 
tains two species, viz.: P. jirmum Trin. Diss. 2: 105, 
and Icon. ¢. 125, referred to P. scrobiculatum L. by many 
authors; and P. longifolium Roxb. Hort. Beng. 7; Trin. 
Icon. ¢. J38. This has also been referred to P. scrobicula-
