have spikelets 3 mm. long and are P. notatum (Jamaica, Alexander; Trinidad, Sieber 

 364, labeled P. taphrophyllum Steud.; Antigua, Wullschlaegel). A part of Wright 

 3438 in the Torrey Herbarium is P. minus and a part is P. notatum.

 Herb. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 



The type of P. nanum is Wright 176 in the Grisebach Herbarium, collected in 

 "Bushy savannas, Hanabana, June 1," 1865. This agrees with Wright 3866, the 

 type of P. caudicatum, in the Gray Herbarium. 



The specimen in the National Herbarium is numbered 3842. The specimen in 

 the Grisebach Herbarium bears the label, "176. Bushy savannas. Hanabana, 

 June 1." 



Spikelets sent by Professor Le Comte from the plant supposed to be the type of 

 Paspalum lindenianum Rich.b show this plant to be the same as P. nanum Wright, 

 but this species does not agree with Richard's description in so far as the blades are 

 said to be glaucous and glabrous except the ciliate margins, while in P. nanum the 

 blades are pubescent on the surface. Pending a further examination of the type the 

 name P. nanum is retained.

As stated above, a part of Wright 3438 in the National Herbarium is this species, 

 and a part is P. minus Fourn. The spikelets of tin- species as here understood are 

 about 3 mm. long. The type has not been examined. The Baker & Wilson plant, 

 HC 299, cited above, is larger than the other specimens, with spikelets 4 mm. long, 

 and may be a distinct species. Wrighl 's 3438 in the Gray Herbarium is P. notatum; 

 il is labeled "Savannas Chirigote, July 1 1." This number in the Torrey Herbarium 

 is part P. notatum and part P. minus.

Grisebach's specimen is from eastern Cuba, 1859, no. 766. Nashc applies this name 

 to Panicum fasciculatum Sw., but as has been shown elsewhere d the name Paspalum 

 imniculatum L. should be applied to the Linnaean plant, as heretofore, and not to 

 the Sloane plate cited, through error, by Linnseus.
