Notes on tfie species are preceded by a short biographical 

 sketch of Stephen Elliott who was born in Beaufort, S. C. in 

 1771. Elliott's herbarium is preserved in the College of 

 Sharleston and consists of 28 volumes of folios, 12 x 23 inches. 

 The grasses are in good State of preservation. The notes presented 

 here are based on a careful examinaticn of the material by 

 Eimer D. Merrill and Prof. F. Lamson-Scribner. The 

 paper contains an alphabetical list of the species with reference 

 to Elliott's Sketch. Bot. South Car. & Ga. The notes on the 

 following species are more füll. 



Panicum scojJarium Lara., Elliott's plant is P. Bavenelii Scrib. and 



Merrill, P. amarum, P. pauciflorum EH., P. amaroides Scrib. and Merrill, P. 



nervosnm Muhl., P. ovale EH., P. lanuginosum EH., P. ensifolium Baldw., P. 

 subharbulatam Scrib. and Merrill, Festuca parviflora Ell. 



In additon to the synonymy and distribution, some of the 

 Panicums are critically studied. Botanists should feel grateful for 

 this study, as much confusion has resulted in not properly under- 

 standing these difficult species.
