 domingense Zuccagni. 



Echinochloa cubensis Schult. Mant. 2: 596. 1824. Probably Oplismenus hir- 

 tellus. We have not been able to verify this citation. 



Festuca thouinl Steud. Syn. PI. Glum. 1 : 311. 1854. Possibly Arundo donax or 

 Phragmites or a cultivated species of Cortaderia. -K 



Holcus cubanicus Gleditsch; Schult. Mant. 2: 462. 1824, nomen nudum. 



Panicum confer turn Desv. ; Poir. in Lam. Encycl. Suppl. 4: 279. 1816. "An- 

 tilles." Possibly Isachne arundinacea. 



Panicum domingense Zuccagni in Roemer, Coll. Bot. 123. 1809. " St. Do- 

 mingo." Possibly Syntherisma villosa. 



Panicum ocreatum Willd. ; Spreng. Syst. Veg. 1 : 305. 1825, as synonym of 

 Setaria ocreata. 



Panicum rohrii Nees ; Steud. Syn. PI. Glum. 1 : 76. 1854. " Ind. occ." The 

 description does not apply to any species we know from the West Indies. 



Paspalum guadaloupense Steud. Syn. PI. Glum. 1: 18. 1854. " Guadaloupe." 

 The description points to Axonopus com,pressus, but Grisebach * refers it to Pas- 

 palum conjugatum var. subcordatum Griseb., of which it is the basis. 



Paspalum koleopodium Steud. Syn. PI. Glum. 1 : 18. 1854. " Guadaloupe. 5 

 Grisebach refers this to P. caespitosum, but the description does not well agree 

 with that species. 



Paspalum lagascae Roem, & Schult. Syst. Veg. 2: 317. 1817. Based on P. pu- 

 bescens Lag. 



Paspalum molle Poir. in Lam. Encycl. 5 : 34. 1804. " St. Thomas." 



Paspalum panicum Smith in Rees's Cycl. 26: no. 14. 1813. "Jamaica." The 

 description suggests P. densum. 



Paspalum pubescens Lag. Gen. & Sp. Nov. 2. 1816, not Willd. 1809. Described 

 from a specimen grown in Habana from seed sent by Sesse, probably from 

 Mexico. 



Paspalum rhizomatosum Steud. Syn. PI. Glum. 1: 17. 1854. "Guadaloupe." 

 A species with a decumbent base rooting at the nodes. Nash* refers it to P. 

 orbiculatum, but the description does not well agree with that species nor 

 does it agree with P. reptatum. The species may be P. nutans. 



Paspalum sinuosum Desv. Opusc. 57. 1831. "Antillis." Nash* refers this to 

 P. glabrum. 



Paspalum strictum Pers. Syn. PI. 1 : 86. 1805. " Insul. Antill. et ad St. 

 Domingo." Nash 4 refers this to P. paniculatum. 



Piptatherum setosum A. Rich, in Sagra, Hist. Cuba 11: 311. 1850. Referred 

 by Grisebach 6 to Andropogon setosus (Sorghastrum parviflorum) . The descrip- 

 tion does not well apply to the latter species. 



Reimaria diffusa Spreng. Neu. Entd. 3: 14. J.822. " Martinica." Unidenti- - 

 fiable, description probably erroneous. ^ Y^ 1 -^p*^ vt ^^ ttM/*sV«<<****< 



Setaria ocreata Spreng. Syst. Veg. 1: 305. 1825. The description points to 

 Oplismenus hirtellus. 



Sorghum cubanicus Schult. Mant. 2: 519. 1824. 



Vilfa intermedia Trin. Gram. Unifl. 156. 1824. " Ind. occ." In a later work 

 the locality is given as " Mauritan." Probably not from the West Indies.
