Chrysopogox secundus (Ell.) Benth. 



Andropogon secundus Ell. Bot. S. C. & Ga. I : 580. 18 18. 



Sorghum secundum Chapm. Fl. S. States, 583. i860. 



Collected in dry pine barrens west of Douglas in Coffee county, 

 Sept. 25 (no. 719). Also seen three days later in Appling, Ware, 

 Pierce, Wayne, Liberty and Chatham counties. This species has 

 not been reported from southeast Georgia before. 



Dried specimens give little idea of the elegant appearance of 

 this grass. The stems grow several in a tuft, and are not erect as 

 usually described, but ascending, and slightly curved at the sum- 

 mit ; and the graceful one-sided panicles are very handsome with 

 their yellow anthers and long purple awns. It is known as N wild 

 oats' ' by the natives of southeast Georgia. This species is not 

 mentioned by Scribner and Merrill in their recent paper on 



Elliott's grasses (Circ. U. S. Dept. Agric, Div. Agrost. 29 : F. 

 1901). 



I have just found a good colored figure of it, showing the 



(pi. 



ipogon nutans. M 



is over 20 years older than Elliott's description, is probably the 

 only one ever published of this species, and it illustrates very well 

 some of the characters I have just mentioned. 



Panicum pubifolium Nash, Bull. Torr. Club, 26: 577. 1899 



Collected by myself in dry rocky woods in Athens, June 20 

 and 25 (nos. 15, 40), and by Mr. Wilson in Cobb county, July 12 

 (no. 27). My specimens were determined by Mr. Nash. This 

 species seems quite distinct from any other Panicum I have seen 

 in middle Georgia. 



Panicum gvmnocarpon Ell. 



Grows in considerable abundance on the muddy banks of 

 Muckalee Creek in Americus, where I collected it on August 28 

 (no. 5 22). Although the type-locality of this species is in Georgia,
