^ 190. Panicum latifoHum L. 



Panicum latifolium L. Sp. PL 58. 1753. "Habitat in America." The type, in 

 the Linnaean Herbarium, is a portion of a vernal culm with two leaves and a short- 

 exserted but well-developed primary panicle. « 



Milium latifolium Moench, Meth. P1^04. X^^^{_„,^„^^^^J>_2^V}^^ti^ latjfyl-mm L. 



Panicum, macrocarpon LeConte in^^Torrr"Cat. PL NTi . 91. 1819. No locality nor 

 specimen is cited. In the Torrey Herbarium is a specimen with the following label 



« For a full discussion of the reasons for considering this specimen to be the type, 

 see Hitchcock, Contr. Nat. Herb. 12: 118. 1908. The reasons are briefly: In the 

 Linnaean Herbarium are two sheets upon which Linnseus has written the name. One 

 of these, which is Panicum zizanioides H. B. K., was received from Browne after the 

 preparation of the manuscript of the Species Plantarum. The second sheet includes 

 two vernal specimens, Panicum macrocarpon LeConte, and P. clandestinum L. The 

 first of these is taken as the type as it corresponds better to the description. The sheet 

 marked "17 K latifolium," meaning that the specimens were received from Kalm 

 and the species is no. 17, P. latifolium,, in the Species Plantarum. Appended to the 

 original description, Linnaeus cites two synonyms, one from Morison, which is prob- 

 ably P. boscii Poir., and one from Sloane, which is P. sloanei Griseb. . The Sloane 

 specimen is considered by some authors to be the type of P. latifolium, but the Sloane 

 synonym is erroneously cited.
