HUBBARD.— GRAMINEAE FROM BRITISH HONDURAS. 501 
Sporopo.us virainicus (L.) Kunth, Rev. Gram. 1: 67 (1829).— 
Low ground near Manatee Lagoon August 10, 1905, M. E. Peck, no. 
120. 
Spartina Gouri? Fourn. ex Hemsl. Biol. Cent.-Am. Bot. 3: 509 
(1885) nomen; Fourn. Mex. Pl. 2: 135 (1886).— Swampy shore of 
Manatee Lagoon, August 14, 1905, M. E. Peck, no. 130. Previously 
collected in Mexico only. The Peck material agrees perfectly with a 
specimen, in the Gray Herbarium, labelled Spartina densiflora Brongn. 
(S. Gouini Fourn.!) [alkaline meadows, Hacienda de Angostura, San 
Luis Potosi, Mexico, July 10, 1891, C. G. Pringle, no. 3760]. Judging 
from Brongniart’s description of S. densiflora (a Chilean species) in 
which he calls attention to its affinity to S. glabra Muhl. I doubt very 
much that the Mexican S. Gouini is the same and a Chilean specimen 
in the Gray Herbarium, labelled S. densiflora Brongn. [Valdivia: 
Ensenada bei Corral, in Griiben 5/1 1905, Dr. Otto Buchtien, no. 1285] 
certainly is not the same as Pringle, no. 3760, but shows a strong 
resemblance to S. glabra Muhl. 
LEPTOCHLOA FILIFORMIS (Lam.) Beauv. Agrost. 71, 166 (1812). 
L. mucronata (Michx.) Kunth. Rev. Gram. 1: 91 (1829).— Clearing

Eracrostis sp.— affinis E. acutiflorae (HBK.) Nees.— Pine ridge 
hear Manatee Lagoon, January 8, 1906, M. E. Peck, no. 281la. The 
Peck material is too immature to determine m definitely than above. 
- Chase has kindly compared this with the material at Washington 
and has been unable to identify it. 
2 Since the preparation of this arti i ‘ 
: article Prof. A. S. Hitchcock’s paper on 
wexican Grasses [Contr. U. §. Nat. Herb. 17 (1913)] has appeared. _In 
Mae eo 329, 330,— he refers Pringle, no. 3760 to S. spartinae (Trin.) 
ideract Ae Bur. Pl. Ind. Bull. 9:11 (1902). I have no doubt that he is 
8partinas aie rin) he nsequently the Peck material should be named 8S.
