The latter I have not seen. Wright's 293 is in the Gray Herbarium, labeled as above, 

 with the herbarium name of Munro.

This specimen is in the Grisebach Herbarium and is listed in Grisebach's cat- 

 alogue of Cuba plants as Andropogon (Heteropogon) secundus. (Heteropogon secun- 

 dus Presl is a species of Trachypogon.) Sauvalle lists no. 1559 as Andropogon con- 

 tortus, but there is no specimen of this number in the Sauvalle Herbarium. One 

 18 found, however, in the Gray Herbarium.

 Vegas, Van Hermann HC 2694, Hitchcock in 1906; Herradura, Baker HC 2691; La 

 Magdalena, Baker HC 3634; Cienfuegos, Combs 257 in Gray Herbarium. 



This is listed in Sauvalle 's Flora Cubana as 3870. The Sauvalle specimen is 

 marked 3890, as is the specimen in the National Herbarium. The former speci- 

 men is accompanied by a second label with the secondary number 308, which is 

 the only number with the Grisebach specimen.

Arundinella phragmitoides Griseb. Cat. PI. Cub. 234. 1866.

 Pinar del Rio, Palmer & Riley 70; Shafer 304 in Herb. N. Y. Bot. Gard.; without 

 locality, Otto 268. 



Grisebach's specimen is from western Cuba in 1863 and is numbered "933=3479." 

 I have not seen Nees's type, " Seemann n. 428, Panama." Nees describes the awn 

 as 6 lines long, strongly geniculate in the middle and not twisted. This can only 

 apply to A. phragmitoides and to A. peruviana. Nees further states that the leaves 

 are smooth and one-half inch wide, and the panicle over a foot long and 4 inches 

 thick. This applies best to A. phragmitoides, though the blades are usually more 

 or less pilose. Specimens in the National Herbarium are as follows: Mexico: lAeb-
