GRAMINE^E. 35 



HIEROCHLOE ODORATA, Wahlenb. Fl. Ups. 32. In damp 

 shady places at Los Pinos, 21 June ; also on rocky river 

 bank at Arboles, 9 June. This was distributed under the 

 generic name Savastana ; but the editor of these Catalogues 

 does not see how people who hold the law of priority to be 

 fundamental, can consistently adopt Savastana, over which 

 Hierochloe holds priority by more than forty years. 



ARISTIDA LONGISETA, Steud. Syn. 420. Common in 

 large tufts in dry ravines at Rosa, N. Mex., June; n. 152, 

 issued as A. purpurea. 



Aristida purpurea, Nutt. var. FENDLERIANA, Vasey. On 

 stony mesa banks at Arboles, May; n. 153. Also a low in- 

 conspicuous form common in dry pine groves at Los Pinos, 

 May; n. 154. Both numbers were distributed simply as, 

 A. purpurea. 



STIPA MINOR, Scribn. Bull. Agrost. xi, 46. At Cumbres 

 Pass, Colo., at 10,000 feet, Sept.; n. 218. The high open 

 country at this point is a continuous meadow of many 

 grasses, and this species is among the most conspicuous. 

 Although many thousands of sheep and cattle are yearly 

 pastured here, this grass, like the other Stipa species, re- 

 mains untouched. Other specimens of the species are from 

 Chama, N. Mex.; n. 219.

STIPA VASEYANA, Scribn. 1. c. 46. Abundant in tufts 

 on dry open ground at Pagosa Springs, July ; n. 221. 



STIPA VIRIDULA, Trin. Mem. Acad. Petr. Ser. VI. ii. 39.
