1 Panicum echinatum Willd., Enum. PL 1032. 1809. "America meridionali. " 

 Wiegand 21 takes up this name for Echinochloa crus-pavonis. The specimen 

 in the Willdenow Herbarium named P. echinatum (Magdalena, Colombia, 

 Humboldt) is Pseudechinolaena polystachya (H.B.K.) Stapf. The brief 

 description does not apply to the specimen so named nor to E. crus-pavonis. 

 Willdenow differentiates the species from P. crusgalli (with "glumis aristatis 

 hispidis") by ''glumis aristatus muricato-echinatus", whereas in E. crus-pa- 

 vonis the glumes are less strongly hispid than in E. crsugalli.
