Species one (/. Falconeri Hook, f.) in the northwestern Himalayas; a delicate 

 grass, growing among moss, similar in habit to Arthraxon microphyUns, but 

 withoiit close relationship to that species. At first this would seem to belong to 

 section 2 of PoUinia, in which, forms occur without the third empty glume; but 

 in PoUinia the racemes are never solitary and the rachis is articulate. 



The genus Manistiris Sw. has been renamed Hackelochloa by O. Kuntze be- 

 cause Manisui'is is used for RottboeUia L. f. Hackel had already stated this fact 

 in DC. Monogr. Phanerog. Vol. VI, p. 314, without drawing the same conclu- 

 sion as O. Kuntze. 

 After Rhytachne Desv. add Lepturopsis Steud., as a synonym. 

 After Andropogon L. add Sorghum L. 1735, as a synonym. 



Under the subgenus ScMzachy- 

 rium add Heterochloa (Desv. as a 

 genus) as a synonym. 



The subgenus Hypogyninm is 

 divided into two sections in DC. 

 Monogr. Phan. VI. : Euhijpogy- 

 nium and Pseudanthistiria; the 

 latter has been raised to a genus 

 under this name by Hook. f. in 

 Flora Indica. 



Under the subgenus Arthrolo- 

 j)/;/.s insert Arthrostachys Desv. as 

 a synonym. 



Under the subgenus Amplii- 

 lophis insert Botliriochloa O. 

 Kuntze, with one species (B. ana- 

 mitica) from Anam. The differ- 

 ence may only lie in the different 

 interpretation of the inflores- 

 cence. 



Under the subgenus Dichan- 

 thinni add Diplasantlmm Desv. 

 as a synonym. 

 After Tragus add : 

 Monelytrum Hack. Spikelets 

 4-5, in closely approximate fasci- 

 cles, simiilating a 4-r) flowered 

 spike, the fascicles crowded into 

 long, thick, awned, and woolly 

 spikes somewhat resembling Alo- 

 pecnrus. First empty glume 

 e, rough-nerved, but without bristles, terminating in 

 a long, spreading awn. Flowering glumes almost of equal length, thin and 

 bristle-pointed. Palea obtuse. Lodicules none. Only the lowest spikelet of 

 each fascicle hermaphrodite, the second staminate, the bristle-form, uppermost 

 one sterile. 

 Species one, M. luderitzianum Hack., in German Southwest Africa. 

 Nazia Adans, 1764, is a synonym of Tragus Hall, 17(58. 

 After Scliaffncra add: 



Fourniera Scribn. (figs. 1, 3). Distinctly dioecious. Spikelets solitary and 

 sessile along a continuous rachis, falling off at maturity, the two sexes unlike ; 

 staminate spikelets two flowered, the lower flower sessile, the upper raised on a 

 short pedicel, which is not prolonged beyond the flower ; empty glumes three, in

 h, second floret ; c, d, e, the three outer glnmes (c, cor- 

 responds to c in flg. 2); fif, the floral glume of the same ; 

 h, stamens. The details are all drawn upon the same 

 scale.
