After C'///io.s?/r»,s- insert : 



To section Phaloiia belongs Pteriinn Desv. (as a genus). For LtDiiavchkt 

 Moench., O. Kiintze has brought forward the older synonym Avhiivodea Boeh- 

 nier. 1760. 



After Fesfiica insert: 



Littledalia Henisley, probably belongs to Fe.slura (as a section?); from the 

 description and illustration there appears to be no other difference than the 

 T-nerved (in Festuca 5-nerved) flowering glume. Of these 7 nerves 3 extend 

 almost to the obtuse, unawned apex. Lltfh'ddJiii lihcticn Hemsh-y is a note- 

 worthy grass 2.5 cm. high, with large si)ikelets. 



After Bromus add : 



Duthiea Hack. Spikelets ;5-r) flowered, in simple, compact, almost capitate 

 racemes, short-pediceled, the pedicels of the lowest often with sul)t('nding 

 bracts ; empty glumes 5-7nerved, nearly as long as the first flowering glumes 

 or longer. Flowering glumes rounded on the back, many-nerved, two-lobed, 

 with a somewliat geniculated awn between the lobes, which is slightly 

 twisted below. Lodicules wanting. Ovary long and densely h airly, with a 

 style which is cleft above into very long, threadlike, projecting stigmas that are 

 covered with short hairs. 



Species two: D. hroiiio'nles Hack, in Cashmere and D. oligostacJtya (Munro) 

 Stapf , in Afghanistan. 



Enyaphi>i Trin. (as a section) is a synonym of Boissiera Hochst. 



Instead of Kralikia Coss. Dur., O. Kuntze has introduced the name ^rca?i- 

 gelina. On account of the homonymous older genus of Covqiusitif of Shultz, 

 Cosson and Durieu had already changed the name to Kraiikella on the jjrinted 

 labels of the Dauphinese Society. Since, however, in Hofmann's work on the 

 Compositce the genus of Schultz is suppressed, the name may remain in use for 

 tlie genus of Gniin'mete. 



Under Jouved Fourn. may be included a grass from Lower California described 

 by Vasey and by him made the type of a new genus, Rhachidospermum. (See 

 Scribner, in U. S. Dept. Agr., Div. Agros. Ball. 4: U.) 



Under Moiwriiia Beauv. add as a synonym Ojthiuvinclht Desv. 



Under HaynaJdia add the following note: 



Instead of Hayiialdia Schur., Durand has introduced the name Dasypymim, 

 used by Cosson and Durieu as the name of a section, on account of the homony- 

 mous fungus genus of Schulzer-Mueggen. However, the latter originated the 

 same year (180G) as that of Schur. and it is not evident which name was pub- 

 lished first ; moreover, Haynahlia Schulzer is ignored by modern mycologists, 

 as for example, Saccardo and Schroeter. 



Under Aniiidinarid add as a section, Ghtziophyton (Franch. as a genus), 

 which is connected with the section Tliamnocidanms on account of the sub- 

 tending leaves of the spikelets and panicle-branches, but which bears the panicles 

 on leafless, nodeless culms, breaking up by means of separation nieml)ranes, 

 while the leafy culms (and not rarely also the leafless) remain sterile, similar to 

 .4. faleata and A. khasiana, species found in the Himalayas. 



Species one (^4. mirabilis (Franch.) Hack.) in Brazil. 



After Arundinaria add: 



Microcalamus Franch. Spikelets only 2-flowered, the upper flower hermaph- 

 rodite, the lower staminate or reduced to the two glumes, without a sterile 

 flower above the hermaphrodite. Empty glumes 2, short; flowering glumes of 

 the lower flower similar to the empty glume, that of the hermaphrodite flower 

 longer, narrower, keeled, bow shaped. Palea naked on the keels. Styles 2. long 

 and slender, free, their stigmas short, broad plumose. Herbaceous, not more
