Rendle is of the opinion that the Asiatic form is distinct from the American 

 form, the former having' larger spikelets than the latter. Hooker reduced the 

 Asiatic form to Arundinella harsiliensi.s Raddi, and if he is correct, then the 

 oldest name for the species is Arundinella hi.spida, (Willd.) 0. Kuntze (Andropo- 

 gon hispidus Willd. Sp. PI. 4 (1805) 008). Andropogon hispidua W'ilhl. , being 

 also a South American plant. Trinius' name is here retained for the species. 

 Hackel in lit. has indicated No. 30 Fowworthy as a distinct nndescribed species, 

 but the plant is apparently identical with all the other specimens above cited, 

 with the possible exception of Xo. 850 Fomeorthy.
