Stem leaves erect or ascending, long—acuminate} broadest 
near the somewhat rounded base, the lowest lanceolate, 
27—4 long, 4”—5” wide, 9—13-nerved, the upper much 
reduced. Panicle pyramidal, 2—4 long, the fascicled 
branches very long and slender, spreading or the lowest 
reflexed, spikelets purple, obovate, abruptly contracted 
at the base, 1” long, the first scale one-third the length 
of the smooth, 9—nerved second and third. 
Shady pine lands, Eastern North Carolina to Florida. North Car- 
olina: Ashe, Manteo, 1898. Florida: Curtiss; Jacksonville, 1897, No. 
5866. Related to P. arenicolum but larger in every way, more pubes- 
cent, and with longer leaves. 
54) PANICUM TSUGETORUM Nash, Torr. Bul. 25: 86 
(1898). Stems tufted, 18’ or less high, at first erect, 
and simple, at length much branched aboveand prostrate, 
pubescent with short ascending hairs, or with longer 
ones towards the base. Sheaths shorter than the inter- 
nodes, pubescent with ascending hairs; ligule short, pub- 
escent. Leaves lanceolate, the largest 2’—3’ long, 3”—4” 
wide, later ones smaller, glabreus above, beneath ap- 
pressed pubescent. Panicle broadly oval, about 2’ long, 
the branches ascending; spikelets broadly obovate, about 
%” long, pubescent. 
Hemlock woods; Connecticut, and New York. 
55) PANICUM TENNESSEENSE Ashe, sp. nov. Tufted, 
low, 5—12’ high, erect or ascending from a geniculate 
base, very slender, at first simple, soon densely branch- 
ed above with short branches, glabrous or nearly so. 
Sheaths often nearly as lone as the internodes, at least 
the lower ones covered with a short, seft pubescence; 
ligule short-pilose. Leaves spreading, thin, 3—5-nerved, 
the margins very rough, smooth above, beneath appress- 
ed pubescent and roughish, the largest 23’—3’ long, 
3”—4” wide, widest in the middle, abruptly pointed, nar- 
rowed to the rounded base; secondary leaves thickly
