I found this plant among a parcel of grasses and other 

 plants collected in autumn 1«1 1, in Monmouth coun- 

 ty, New Jersey. As I had no time to examine the 

 collection then, I was much surprised on finding this 

 very interesting gra^s among them. That it is the 

 same with P. stoioniferum of Peru, I have no doubt, 

 as I carefully compared it with the specimens in the 

 collection of A. B. Lambert, Esq.
