Regarding Paspalum fuseeseeus Presl, the type locality is first given "Hab. 

 in regione montana Peruviae," but on page 350 of the same work tliis is corrected 

 to '4 lab. ad Monte-Rey, Californiae." As it, is known that a considerable number 

 of Prcsl's Philippine plants were erroneously labeled as having been collected in 

 and about Monterey, California, it seems probable that the type of I'aspaium 

 fmccscens was a Philippine and not American plant, and although Scribner 

 considers it a valid species, it seems to me to be referable to Digitaria longiflora 

 Pers.
