 the lower surface with short spreading hairs, glabrous above, 3-5 cm. 

 long, 46 mm. wide; primary panicle usually 3-5 cm. long, broadly 

 ovoid, its branches ascending; spikelets about 1.2 mm. long and about 

 0.6 mm. wide, oval, pubescent. In usually dry sandy soil, southern

 oval, acutish, about 2.3 mm. long and 1.3 mm. wide, densely pubescent 

 with short hairs. In the pine-barrens of southern N. J. July. Differs 

 from P. boreale Nash by its stouter habit and larger spikelets. 



P. 86, No. 35, read " unciphyllum Trin." instead of " pubescens Lam.", 

 and as a synonym add " P. pubescens A. Gray, not Lam." 



After No. 35, insert:

 tufted, 4-6 dm. tall, rather weak and ascending, papillose-hirsute with 

 long spreading hairs; leaves ascending, lanceolate, the lower surface softly 

 and densely pubescent with short hairs, the upper surface with scattered 

 long hairs, the primary leaves 4-10 cm. long, 5-10 mm. wide, those on the 

 branches much shorter and spreading and with the upper surface nearly 

 glabrous; panicle 7-10 cm. long, its branches ascending; spikelets 1.7-2 

 mm. long, 0.8-0.9 mm. wide, elliptic or obovoid, strongly pubescent with 

 long spreading hairs. In woods, N. Y. and 111. to Tenn. and Fla. July- 

 Sept. Differs from P. unciphyllum Trin. in its lighter color, usually weak 

 culms, and the glabrous upper surface of the leaves. 



P. 87, No. 38, read " scoparium Lam." instead of " viscidum Ell.", and 

 refer the latter to synonymy, to which add also " P. pubescens Lam." 



After No. 38, insert:

 brous or pubescent, 8-14 dm. long, erect, finally branched; sheaths gla- 

 brous or pubescent; leaves erect or ascending, linear-lanceolate, glabrous, 

 1-2 dm. long, 8-12 mm. wide; panicle 1-2 dm. long, its branches spreading 

 or ascending; spikelets lanceolate, glabrous, 2-2.3 mm- long and i mm. 

 broad, ovate to ovate-lanceolate, acute, the nerves of the flowering scale 

 very prominent. In swampy places and ponds, Va. to Fla. and Tex. 

 May-Aug. Differs from P. scoparium Lam. in its longer and narrower 

 glabrous leaves and glabrous spikelets. 



P. 87, after Panicum Addisbnii, insert: 



39a. Panicum psamm&philum Nash. SAND PANICUM. A tufted 

 perennial. Culms 24 dm. tall, appressed-hirsute below, finally much

 blades erect or nearly so, thick, firm, serrulate on the margins, puberu- 

 lent beneath, occasionally with a few long scattered hairs on the upper 

 surface, the primary blades 2-? cm. long and 2-5 mm. wide; primary 

 panicle usually 2-3 cm. long, at feast its axis puberulent ; spikelets broadly 

 obovate, 1.3-1.5 mm. long, 0.8-1 mm. wid, obtuse, densely pubescent 

 with spreading hairs. In sandy soil along the coast, Mass, to N. J.
