P. denunutivum Peck, N. Y. State Mus. Bul. 116, p. 27-28. 
1907. 
Moist or wet muddy soil. Shore of Little pond about 2.5 miles 
south of Wading River, Suffolk county. August. Type collected 
by Dr C. H. Peck, in the herbarium of the New York State Museum. 
The range and habitat of this rare, diminutive Panicum is given 
by Hitchcock and Chase, as “ along the margins of streams and 
ponds in sandy or mucky soil, southern New Jersey to Florida and 
west to Texas, also in Cuba.” According to a recent communication 
from Professor Hitchcock, the northern range of this species is 
now known to be Cape Cod, and the identification of the type of 
Doctor Peck’s Long Island species, Panicum deminuti- 
vum, as indentical, adds a New York locality to the known 
range of the species.
