Inp1a, Curna, and Java. In India, from the lower Himalayas to 
16 N. lat. in the Deccan Peninsula, and eastwards through the Khasia 
Hills to Lower and Central Burma, thence to Siam, Tonking, Yunnan, 
Kwangtung, and the Yangtse Kiang valley: also in Java. In dry, 
open situations and in deciduous forest and sunny jungle, locall 
abundant, often imitating small bamboos. 
J. D. Hooker, l.c. 177, has already pointed out that Bentham and 
Hackel were mistaken in their conception of Andropogon montanus, 
Roxb., and he placed the latter correctly near A. intermedius, R.Br., 
and A. odoratus, Lisb. (Amphilophis intermedia, Stapf, and A. odorata, 
Stapf). Hance’s specimen, quoted by Bentham from Hongkong under 
montanus, is a somewhat robust state of the spicigerous form of 
florum (A. villosulus and A. parvispicus, Steud.) and auvdy Amphilophis 
glabra, Stapf (Rhaphis stricta, Nees), and the description may be taken 
also to cover to some extent the plant figured here. Hackel dis- 
tinguishes two varieties of his ‘ Andropogon montanus’’—one with
