NOTES ON MEXICAN SPECIES. 



The Mexican species of Festuca are too poorly known and too sparsely represented 

 in our herbaria to permit of satisfactory treatment at present. The following notes 

 give our present knowledge concerning them: 



Festuca octoflora Walt. 



The following Mexican specimens have been examined: 

 Guadalupe Island, Palmer 657. 

 Hanson's ranch, Orcutt, July 9, 1884. 

 Guadalupe Ranch, Orcutt 1432 in part. 

 San Martin Island, Anthony 214. 

 Todos Santos Island, Anthony 195.
