Regarding Paspalum fuscescens Presl, the type locality is first given "Hah. 

 in regione montana Peruviae," but on page 350 of the same work this is corrected 

 to "Hab. ad Monte-Rey, Californiae." As it is known that a considerable niunber 

 of Presl's Philippine plants were erroneously labeled as having been collected in 

 and about* Monterey, California, it seems probable that the type of Paspalum 

 fuscescens was a Philippine and not American plant, and although Scribner 

 considers it a valid species, it seems to me to be referable to Digitaria loiigifiora 

 Pers.
