9. Panicum fasciculattim Swartz. 



Panicum fasciculatum Swartz, Prodr. Veg. Ind. Occ. 22. 1788; Contr. U. S. Nat. 

 Herb. 15: 38. 1910. 



Panicum chartaginense Swai'tz, Prodr. Veg. Ind. Occ. 22. 1788; Contr. U. S. 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, fasciadatum rather than to the narrow- 

 panicled form confined to the semiarid southwestern United States and Mexico, 

 which was described by Torrey as P. reticulatum.
