record of this as a riiilippine species has not been^ verified. To be expected in 

 the Philippines. Tropical and temperate regions of the World. 



Setaria pilifera Llanos Frag. PI. Filip. (1851) 34. Reduced by F.-Villar 

 to Panicum helopus Trin., a species not known from the Pliilippines. Not satis- 

 factorily determinable from the imperfect description.

"Hab. in insulis Philippines" Presl. Scribner states that the sheet labeled 

 by Presl, now in the Bernhardi herbarium at the Missouri Botanical Garden, 

 contains three species, one being Setaria caudata Lam., one S. composiia Kunth, 

 and one undeterminable. As the first two species are tropical American, it 

 seems probable that Presl credited the species to the Philippines through 

 error, and that Set arm glohularis Presl is a synonym of one of the above species, 

 and not a Philippine plant.

Spikelets in whorled or digitate spikes^ awned, the third giurae with

Hooker f.^^ states that the genus Urochloa Beauv., was based on Panicum 

 javanieum, and I have accordingly followed him in accepting the generic name 

 Axonopus.
