HUBBARD. — GRAMINEAE FROM BRITISH HONDURAS. 501 



Sporobolus virginicus (L.) Kunth, Rev. Gram. 1: 67 (1829). — 

 Low ground near Manatee Lagoon August 10, 1905, M. E. Peck, no. 

 120. 



Spartina Gouini ^ Fourn. ex Hemsl. Biol. Cent.-Am. Bot. 3: 509 

 (18S5) nomen; Fourn. Mex. PI. 2: 135 (1886).— Swampy shore of 

 Manatee Lagoon, August 14, 1905, M. E. Peck, no. 130. Previously 

 collected in Mexico only. The Peck material agrees perfectly with a 

 specimen, in the Gray Herbarium, labelled Sparfina dcnsiflora Brongn. 

 (S. Goiiini Fourn.!) [alkaline meadows. Hacienda de x\ngostura, San 

 Luis Potosi, Mexico, July 10, 1891, C. G. Pringle, no. 3760]. Judging 

 from Brongniart's description of S. dcnsiflora (a Chilean species) in 

 which he calls attention to its affinity to S. glabra Muhl. I doubt very 

 much that the Mexican S. Gouini is the same and a Chilean specimen 

 in the Gray Herbarium, labelled S. dcnsiflora Brongn. [Valdivia: 

 Ensenada bei Corral, in Graben 5/1 1905, Dr. Otto Buchticn, no. 1285] 

 certainly is not the same as Pringle, no. 3760, but shows a strong 

 resemblance to S. glabra Muhl. 



Leptochloa filiformis (Lam.) Beauv. Agrost. 71, 166 (1812). 

 L. mucronata (Michx.) Kunth. Rev. Gram. 1: 91 (1829). — Clearing 

 near Manatee Lagoon, January 21, 1906, M. E. Peck, no. 296. 



Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn. Fruct. 1: 8 (1788). — Cultivated 

 ground near Manatee Lagoon, June 8, 1905, M. E. Peck, no. 43. 



Eragrostis Elliottii Wats, in Proc. Am. Acad. 25: 140 (1890).^ 

 Pine ridge near Manatee Lagoon, November 25, 1905, M. E. Peck, no. 

 222a. Not previously reported from Central America, former distribu- 

 tion southeastern United States, Cuba and Porto Rico. 



Eragrostis hypnoides (Lam.) BSP. Prelim. Cat. N. Y. PI. 69 

 (1888).— Swamp near Sibune R., May 1, 1906, M. E. Peck, no. 143. 



Eragrostis mexicana (Lag.) Link, Hort. Berol. 1: 190 (1827). — 

 Wet pine ridge near Manatee Lagoon, July 18, 1905, M. E. Peck, no. 

 69b. 



Eragrostis sp. — affinis E. acutiflorae (HBK.) Nees. — ■ Pine ridge 

 near Manatee Lagoon, January 8, 1906, M. E. Peck, no. 281a. The 

 Peck material is too immature to determine more definitely than above. 

 Mrs. Chase has kindly compared this with the material at Washington 

 and has been unable to identify it. 



2 Since the preparation of this article Prof. A. S. Hitchcock's paper on 

 Mexican Grasses [Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 17 (1913)] has appeared. In 

 this, — pages 329, 330, — he refers Pringle, no. 3760 to S. spartinae (Trin.) 

 Merr. U. S. Bur. PL Ind. Bull. 9 : 11 (1902). I have no doubt that he is 

 correct in so doing; consequently the Peck material should be named S. 

 spartinae (Trin.) Merr.
