Paneion buckleyanum var. maius Lunell, Amer. Midi. Nat. 4: 222. 1915. 

 Change of name for " Poa tenuifolia var. maior (Vasey)", but that name was 

 never published, and no specimen so named by Vasey can be found. 



Panicum americanum L., Sp. PL 56. 1753. America. This name and 

 Pennisetum americanum Schum., based on it, have been used for P. glaucum (L.) 

 R. Br. The original description is unidentifiable, probably based on a con- 

 fusion of two or more species. (See Chase, Contrib. U.S. Natl. Herb. 22: 218. 

 1921; Amer. Jour. Bot. 8: 43. 1921.) 



Panicum anomalvm Walt., Fl. Carol. 72. 1788. South Carolina. A species 

 of Setaria. (See Hitchcock, Mo. Bot. Gard. Rept. 16: 35. 1905.) 



Panicum barbatum LeConte; Torr., in Eaton, Man. Bot. ed. 2. 342. 1818. 

 Not P. barbatum Lam., 1791. New York. The description rather suggests 

 P. barbulatum Michx.

 cock, Bartonia 14: 41. 1932.)

 Desf., 1798. As synonym of P. pubescens. 



Panicum densum Muhl., Descr. Gram. 122. 1817. No locality given. The 

 description suggests one of the Lanuginosa group.

 No locality given. 



Panicum dichotomum var. gracile Torr., Fl. North, and Mid. U.S. 145. 1824.

 elliottii Trin., 1829. As synonym of P. pubescens. 



Panicum fimbriatum WilkL; Spreng., Syst. Veg. 1: 316. 1825, as synonym of

 WiUdenow Herbarium so named is P. albomaculatum Scribn., from Mexico, col- 

 lected by Humboldt. 



Panicum flexuosum Raf., Jour. Bot. Desv. 4: 273. 1814. Not P. flexuosum 

 Retz., 1791. New Jersey. P. rafinesquianum Schult., Mant. 2: 257. 1824, is 

 based on this. 



Panicum gracilescens Desv.; Poir., in Lam., Encycl. Sup. 4: 279. 1816. Caro- 

 lina. Desvaux gives a later description (Opusc. 95. 1831), which disagrees in 

 some respects with that of Poiret. 



Panicum ioivense Ashe, N.C. Agr. Expt. Sta. Bull. 175: 115. 1900. Iowa to 

 Kansas. The description suggests P. huachucae or P. praecocius. (See Contrib.

Panicum muhlenbergianum Schult., Mant. 2: 230. 1824. Based on Panicum

 Muhlenberg gives "Habitat in Georgia."
