This species was adniittod on the strenytli of identifications made by Vidal, 

 and Ceron, based on Ciiiiiing (j.i.i, and Vidal //Oil. I have examined both in the 

 Kew Herbarium, :uid find them to be referable to Phragmites karka (Retz.) Trin.

Here enumerated to all attention to the reduction of the monotypic genus 

 GarnotleUa. The type of Gai-noiiella philippinensis in the Kew Herbarium, is 

 identical with Andropogon leptos, and is a true Androj)ogon. Dr. Stapf, to whos,' 

 attention I called the matter, concurs in this reduction. To be sure of the identity 

 of the Philippine plant with Andropogon leptos Steud., I later examined the type 

 of Steudel's species in the Berlin Herbariimi, and found the determination to be 

 correct.

This species must be excluded from the Philippine flora, as the specimen in 

 the Kew Herbarium, on which the record was based, bears a printed label with 

 the date 1831, and is from Cuming's first collection from the southern Pacific, 

 and not from the Philip]Mnes. Cuming's Philippine ]>lants were distributed ten 

 years latei'.
