22. Panicum philadelphicum Bernh. 



Panicum capillare sylvaticum Torr. Fl. North. & Mid. U. S. 149. 1824, not P. 

 sylvaticum Lam. 1798. "In dry woods near New York." The type is in Columbia 

 University Herbarium. 



Panicum philadelphicum Bernh.; Trin. Gram. Pan. 216. 1826. This is mentioned 

 by Trinius as a variety of P. capillare, similar to his /? [P. flexile], but with spikelets 

 only acute [not acuminate as in the others], "misit s. n. 

 Pan. philadelphici sibi cl. Bernhardi." Enough description 

 is given to technically constitute publication. Nees later « 

 describes the species more fully. The type, in the Trinius 

 Herbarium, is from Philadelphia, sent by Bernhardi. On 

 the same sheet is a specimen of P. flexile from the same 

 source, but a drawing by Trinius with the name of P. phila- 

 delphicum indicates which specimen is the type.

Panicum torreyi Fourn. in Hemsl. Biol. Centr. Amer. Bot. 

 3: 497. 1885. Based on P. capillare sylvaticum Torr. Fournier's description & does 

 not apply to this species and a specimen in the Fournier Herbarium, cited by him 

 under this name, is P. bulbosum. 



Panicum capillare minimum Engelm.; Gattinger, Tenn. Fl. 94. 1887. No definite 

 locality in Tennessee is mentioned. The type in the Gattinger Herbarium bears the 

 name in Gattinger's writing and the data "Greenbriar, Sept. '78. A. Gattinger." 

 This name is initialed "F. L. S." by Scribner, hence the same name published^ 

 later by him is also based on this specimen. 



Panicum minimum Scribn. & Merr. U. S. Dept. Agr. Div. Agrost. Circ. 27: 4. 

 1900. Based on P. capillare minimum Engelm. 



Panicum soboliferum Tuckerm.; Scribn. & Merr. Rhodora 3: 106. 1901. This is 

 given as a synonym under P. minimum. Tuckerman's specimen, in the Gray Her- 

 barium, is from "Head of Lake Memphremagog, Vt., Sept. 1859."
