Nat. 3 (1835) 190; Steudel Syn. (1854) 118; Safford 377. 
This species was described from Guam material, but I have seen no 
specimens that agree with the descriptions available. For a time I con- 
sidered it probable that Trinius’ species was the same as Monerma repens 
Beauv., but this is apparently not the case, although the grass enumerated 
by Safford, judging by the native name cited, probably is Monerma and not 
Stenotaphrum.
