P. minutulum Desv. Opusc. 87. 1833. Not Gaud. 1826. 

 P. deminutivum Peck, N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 116, p. 27-28. 

 1907. 



Moist or wet muddy soil. Shore of Little pond about 2.5 miles 

 south of Wading River, Suffolk county. August. Type collected 

 by Dr C. H. Peck, in the herbarium of the New York State Museum. 



The range and habitat of this rare, diminutive Panicum is given 

 by Hitchcock and Chase, as " along the margins of streams and 

 ponds in sandy or mucky soil, southern New Jersey to Florida and 

 west to Texas, also in Cuba." According to a recent communication 

 from Professor Hitchcock, the northern range of this species is 

 now known to be Cape Cod, and the identification of the type of 

 Doctor Peck's Long Island species, Panicum deminuti- 

 vum, as indentical, adds a New York locality to the known 

 range of the species.
