is mentioned in that work (NEES, 1829, Agrost. Bras. 226) in a note 
appended to P. parvifolium Lam., where it is referred to P. angustijolium 
Ell. It is quite distinct from ELLiort’s species, however. 
Trintus himself describes the species | later as follows (1826, Gram.

TRINIUS’ spectmens should be taken as the substitute type of these two 
species.

Like P. lancearium the name is founded upon a figure in ‘’PLUKENET 
and is further described by Trintus in Gram. Pan. 219. 1826. 
Spithamaeum et minus. Panicula (ultrapollicari) lucida; Spiculis sub-

P. ciliatum is characterized by the ciliate but otherwise glabrous leaves 
and pubescent spikelets a little less than 2 ™™ long
