2. P. sparsicomum Nees. Cyrtococcum sparsicomum A. Camus, 
piststl: Mus. Nat. Hist. Par. 1921, p: 118: 
Dambulla Rock, in dense shade. 
The affinity of this species appears to be with P. brevifolium Linn., 
but, perhaps, both would be better placed in Cyrtococcum Stapf. 
3. P. auritum Presl.; Haines Bot. Bih. and Or. p. 996 (1924). 
I have followed Haines, who retains this in Panicum, though it 
appears to be more closely related to -Hynenachne, where Backer 
places it.
