R('fjar(liii<r raspaltini fnscuni Presl, the place of origin of llie type specimen 

 is quite niuertain, Piesl stating: "Hab. in Lnzonia ? in Peruviae niontanis liua- 

 noecensibus? Mexico?" Hciibner, who has examined Haenke's specimen on which 

 tlie species was based, considers it a good species and transfers it to Sjjniherisma.

I can not distinguisli the specimen determined by Mez as Panicum puhcrulum 

 from those determined by Ilackel as P. pedicellarc, the specimens agreeing more 

 closely with the description of llic latter. Hooker f., cites tlie older name Panicum 

 r/rnnvhire Trin.. as a synonym, but the description of that s])ecies available does 

 not closely apply to our material.
