ate, generally purplish, very numerous. Panicle 2’—4’ 
long, one half as wide, the slender, mostly single 
branches spreading; spikelets obovate, apiculate, 14°’ long, 
on pedicels of about the same length or longer, first scale 
obtuse, about one-fourth the length of the 7-nerved sec- 
ond and third. 
Low pine land. Florida: Nash; Lake Co., May, 1894, No. 781. Re-

of Bot. 8: 32 (1889). Culms somewhat tufted, erect, 
about 8’ high, pubescent, at least below. Sheaths short- 
er than the internodes, papillose-pubescent with rough, 
appressed or ascending hairs ; ligule pilose. Leaves in the 
simple form not crowded, ascending, nearly lanceolate, 
the largest about 3’ long, 2’’ wide, narrowed to the some- 
what rounded base, pubescent. Panicle long-peduncled, 
1’—13’ long, ovoid, compact, the branches ascending; 
spikelets broadly elliptical, 1}’’ long, pubescent. 
Dry, sandy soil, Nebraska. Type material collected by Dr. Wilcox

20) PANICUM GEORGIANUM Ashe, sp. nov. Low, 
4’—8’ high, densely tufted, much branched. below and 
spreading, even before flowering; stems glabrous or soft-

hairs. ULeaves ascending, oblong lanceolate, 1’4-2° long, 
about 2’’ wide, taper-pointed, rounded at the base, 5—7- 
nerved, soft-pubescent or glabrate. Panicle short-pedun- 
cled, one inch long or less, generally overtopped by the 
upper leaves, the few, short branches ascending; spikelets, 
1z”’ long, broadly elliptical, the first scale obtuse, one- 
third the length of the very pubescent second and third.
