56 BOTANICAL GAZETTE. 
No. 11, No. 804 of E Hall’s Texas collection, is thus named i 
by Munro. , ss 
No. 13 is represented in the Philadelphia Academy collection 
from Baldwin. It has since been collected by Mr. Curtiss and 
appears to be a good species. i 
No. 14, No. 807 of E. Hall’s Texas collection, named by 
Munro. o 
No. 15 is No. 364 of Drummond’s collection, and is also i 
Herb. Gray from Key West, collected by Blodgett. . 
No. 19 is in Herb. Gray, ticketed by Munro from a specimen 
collected in Texas by Mr. Reverchon. It is, perhaps, the same 
as No. 20, which we have from Virginia and South Carolina, and 
appears very different from P. virgatum, Linn. a 
N is 801 of E. Hall's Texas collection. It occurs also 
from other sources, 3 
No. 24 is the plant of Chapman’s Flora, but his synonym 
should probably be excluded. Doell cites Miliwm paspaloides, 
Ell., Digitaria paspaloides, Michx., and Milium distichum, 
Muhl., as synonyms of P. vaginatum, Swz. It is nearly rela 
to No. 23, but would seem to be specifically distinct. The P. ob- 
tusifolium of Chapman's Supplement is P. platycaule, Poir. 
obtusifolium, Raddi, and P. barbatum, Schultes, are both made — 
synonyms of P. fureatum, Flugge, by Doell in Gram Bras., and 
it is possible that Chapman’s P. Digitaria may also be that 
species. :
