 dium altitudes. Similar in appearance to Panicum brevifolium Linn., but 

 distinguished by its short first glume. I am indebted to Prof. A. S. Hitch- 

 cock for indicating to me the error in the original determinations. Widely 

 distributed in tropical America, probably an introduced species in the 

 Philippines.
