9. Panicum fasciculatum Swartz. 
Panicum fasciculatum Swartz, Prodr. Veg. Ind. Occ. 22. 1788; Contr. U. 8. Nat. 
Herb. 15: 38. 1910. 
Panicum chartaginense Swartz, Prodr. Veg. Ind. Occ. 22. 1788; Contr. U. 8S. Nat. 
Herb. 15: 40.1910. ‘‘America meridionalis chartagena.’’ A reconsideration of 
Swartz’s type in the light of recent collections from the region whence it came leads 
to the conclusion that it is referable to Panicum fasciculatum rather than to the narrow- 
panicled form confined to the semiarid southwestern United States and Mexico, 
which was described by Torrey as P. reticulatum.
