Sktakia imlikkka Llanos Frag. PI. Filip. (1851) 34. Reduced by F.-Villar 

 to Panioum Itch/pus- Trin., a species not known from the Philippines. Not satis- 

 factorily determinable from the imperfect description.

"Hab. in insulis Philippines" Presl. Scribner states that the slieet labeled 

 by Presl, now in the Bernhardi herbarium at the Missouri Botanical Garden, 

 contains three species, one being Setaria oaudata Lam., one 8. oomponta Kunth, 

 and one undeterminable. As the first two species are tropical American, it 

 seems probable that Presl credited the species to the Philippines through 

 error, and that Setaria globularis Presl is a synonym of one of the above species, 

 and not a Philippine plant.
