Rendle is of the opinion that the Asiatic form is distinct from tlie American 

 form, tlie former having larger spikelets than the latter. Hooker reduced the 

 Asiatic form to Artmdinella harsiliensis Raddi, and if he is correct, then the 

 oldest name for the species is Arundinella hispida (Willd.) O. Kuntze {Andropo- 

 gon hispidus Willd. Sp. PL 4 (1805) 908). Andropogon hispidus Willd., being 

 also a South American plant, Trinius' name is here retained for the species. 

 Hackel in lit. has indicated No. 30 Foxworthy as a distinct undescribed species, 

 but the plant is apparently identical with all the other specimens abov^e cited, 

 with the possible exception of No. 856 Foxworthy.
