A. nutans avenaceus (Michx.) Hack, in DC. Monog. Phan. 6: 530 (1889). 



A. avenaceum Michx. Fl. 1: 58 (1803). "In vastissimis pratis lUinoensi- 

 bus." Prairies; common. Hackel unites Sorghum and Chrysopogon with 

 Andropogon (DC. Mon. Phan. VI), and places the above species under the 

 subgenus Sorghum. Bentham places the same species under Chrysopogon 

 (Notes on Gramineae, 73). Chrysopogon was founded chiefly upon Andropo- 

 gon gryllus L. (Trin. Fund. Agrost. 188) and is the same as Centrophorum 

 Trin. Fund. Agrost. 106, which latter name should be used if the group be 

 kept as a distinct genus. Sorghum halepense Pers. Syn. I, 101, occurs occa- 

 sionally along railroad tracks in the southern part of the state, but probably 

 has not become established. 



A. provincialis Lam. Encycl. 1: 376 (1783) "21. Barbon de Provence, An-

 Prov. 107 t. 4. Gramen dactylon villosum, ramosum, altissimum, gallopro- 

 vinciale. Tournef. 521. Cette plante a beaucoup de rapports avec celle qui 

 precede, & n'en est peut-etre qu'une variete; neanmoins on Ten distingue en 

 ce qu'elle est constamment plus grande, que ses feuilles sont plus larges, & 

 que ses epis sont inegaux, & forment des digitations moins nombreuses. On 

 trouve cette plante dans la Provence, & on la cultive au Jardin du Roi. Per-
