Dec. 1911.] MATSUDA.-A LIST OF PLANTS COLLECTED IN CHINA. 249 



The Wai-shan. Aki-tnehijiwa. 



Kunth's plant comes from Brazil, and his description does 

 not well agree with my specimen, btit Steudel's description 

 does agree, and the latter author got his specimen from China. 

 Rendle does not cite this plant in Journ. Linn. Soc, XXXVI. 

 in which he enumerates Chinese grasses.

 in Bull. Herb. Boiss. (1899) 548 ; (1904) 528. 



Shang-h ai . Hiega eri. 



Rendle cites P. littoralis Smith in Journ. Linn. Soc. 

 XXXYL 386, but not P. Higegaweri. Prof. Matsumura's Mei- 

 Aa/3 cites P. littoralis Rendle non Sm. as a synonym of P. Higega 

 weri. Again, Hooker in Fl Brit. Ind. VH. 246 distinguishes P. 

 littoralis Sm. proper and var. Higegaweri. Thus it is most 

 probable P. littoralis (Rendle 1. c.) includes the present specimen 

 or is identical with it.
