Mr. C. E. Hubbard of the Kew Herbarium informs us that he changed Setaria 

 glauca, Auct. into S. lutescens on account of the synonym Panicum hdescens, 

 Weigel Obs. (1772), 20. Dr. Stapf thinks that this name change is unnecessary 

 and we quite agree with him after reading his MS. on this question which he 

 kindly allowed Mr. Hubbard to put at our disposal. As Dr. Stapf is now about 

 to publish his MS. we refrain from giving his arguments in this place.
