DOUITFI'L AM) EXCLUDED SPECIES. 



Ciiloris crinita Lag. Varied. Ciena 4 (1806) 143; Kunth Enum. 1 (1833) 

 2(18; Miq. Fl. lml. Bat. 3 (1859) 389; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1883) 320. 



"Insulae Philippinae" Kunth. Apparently not a Ciiloris, and probably not a 

 Philippine plant. 



Chloris thuncata K. Br. Prodr. (1810) 186; Kunth Enum. 1 (1833) 200; 

 Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 3 (1859) 387; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1883) 320. Clitoris 

 dolichostaohya Lag. Gen. et Sp. Nov. (1816) 5. 



(Jhtoris dolichostaohya Lag., is credited by that author to the Philippines, 

 and was reduced to C. trunoata P. Br. by Pink. Lagasca's description is insufficient 

 for accurate identification of his species. Clitoris- trunoata U. Br., is an Aus- 

 tralian species. 



Ciiloris inflata Llanos Frag. PI. Filip. (1851) non Link, reduced by F.-Villar 

 to the preceding, but apparently an erroneous reduction. 



Chloris radiata Sw. : F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1883) 320. Certainly an erroneous 

 identification on the part of F.-Villar. A spcies of tropical America. 



Chloris rufesoens Lag. Varied. Cienc. 4 (180.")) 143; Kunth Enum. 1 (1833) 

 208; Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 3 (18.10) 388; Pianos. Frag. PI. Filip. (1851)?; F.-Vill. 

 Nov. App. (1883) 320. 



"Insulae Philippinae" Kunth. Possibly not a Philippine plant.

 Miq. PI. Ind. Bat. 3 (1859) 383; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1883) 320. 



"Hah. ad Sorzogon, Pu/.oniae" Presl. Apparently an American plant, errone- 

 ously localized by Presl. Scribner states that it is very close to an American 

 species, Chloris petraea Sw. Possibly only a reduced form of that species. 



(55) ELEUSINE Gaertn. 



Spikes digitate, the spikelets many flowered, crowded. Glumes closely 

 imbricate, diverging, compressed and keeled, obtuse or mucronate. 



Species 0, mostly of the tropical and subtropical regions of the Old World. 1 

 cosmopolitan; 1 in the Philippines.
