Poa SZECHUENSIS, nom. nov.—I regret that 3 in my monograph 
of the Gramine@ in Messrs. Forbes and etna ht Enumeration 
of Chinese Plants are Linn. Soe. cos 424 (1904) ) 
a new species as Poa gracillima, overlooking P. gracillima Vasey 
in Contrib. U.S. Nat. Hew. i, 272 (1893). As Mr. A.S. Hitchcock, 
of the U.S. Department of Ages sulture, informs me that the 
American P. illima is considered a good species, a new name 
must be assigned to the Chinese plant, which I therefore propose 
to call Poa szEcHUENSIs, from the name of the a in which 
it was found by Faber.—A. B. Renpie.
