apply to that, and both DeCandolle and 

 Trinius question Poiret's species. 



Stipa spicata Walt., Fl. Carol. 78. 1788. 

 Not S. spicata L. f., 1781. South Carolina. 

 Apparently a species of Andropogon. 



Stipa stricta Lam., Tabl. Encycl. 1: 158. 

 1791.; Encycl. 7: 453. 1806. South Caro- 

 lina. Fraser. Said to have the aspect of 

 Androvogon. Possibly Sorghastrum nutans 

 (L.) Nash. 



Triodia repens Vasey, Torrey Bot. Club 

 Bui. 15: 49. 1888. Name only for a speci- 

 men collected by "Nealley, Western Texas." 



Triticum aegilopoides Thurb. ex A. Gray, 

 Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. Proc. 1863: 79. 

 1863. Name only. Rocky Mts., Hall and 

 Harbour 656. 



Vilfa varians Buckl., Acad. Nat. Sci. 

 Phila. Proc. 1862: 89. 1863. Rocky Moun- 

 tains, Nuttall. Apparently a species of 

 Sporobolus. 



The following names, based on Old World 

 types, have been applied to species of the 

 United States. The types have not been 

 examined. 



Echinochloa crusgalli forma longiseta 

 Farwell, Mich. Acad. Sci. Rpt. 21: 349. 

 1920. Based on Panicum crusgalli var. 

 longisetum Trin. This variety, from Astrak- 

 han, U. S. S. R., as represented in Trin., 

 Gram. Icon. 2: pi. 162. 1828, is not known 

 from America. Farwell probably had Pani- 

 cum longisetum Torr., 1822, in mind. 



Echinochloa stagnina (Retz.) Beauv., 

 Ess. Agrost. 53, 161, 171. 1812, based on 

 Panicum stagninum Retz., a species of the 

 East Indies and the Pacific Islands has a 

 coarsely hairy ligule, while the specimen dis- 

 tributed by Gray Herbarium under this 

 name (Fernald, Long, and Clement 15182, 

 Princess Anne County, Va.) is entirely 

 without ligule, as in E. crusgalli and its 

 allies. 



Lolium multiflorum submuticum Mutel, 

 Fl. Franc. 4: 139. 1839. France. 



Phleum pratense var. nodosum (L.) Huds., 

 Fl. Ang. ed. 2. 26. 1778. Based on P. 

 nodosum L. A specimen of P. pratense L. 

 from Virginia (Fernald and Long 12935) 

 with slightly curved base has been recorded 

 under this name. It is not P. nodosum L. 

 (upon which the variety is based), which is 

 a much smaller plant, decumbent at base, 

 with few to several swollen nodes and short 

 internodes, the panicle shorter and more 

 slender; not known from America. 



Phragmites communis forma repens G. F. 

 W. Meyer, Chloris Hanov. 650. 1836. 

 Germany. Applied to a Michigan specimen 

 with long stolons. 



Poa annua var. aquatica Aschers., Fl. 

 Brand. 1 : 844. 1864. Germany. Applied to 

 a specimen from flooded place. 



Poa annua var. reptans Hausskn., Mitt. 

 Thiiring. Bot. Ver. 9: 7. 1891. Germany. 



Poa glauca subsp. conferta (Blytt) Lindm. 



in Holmb., Skand. Fl. 2: 208. 1926. Based 

 on P. conferta Blytt. Minnesota specimens 

 distributed under this name are referred to 

 P. glauca Vahl. 



Poa glauca subsp. conferta var. laxiuscula 

 (Blytt) Lindm. in Holmb., Skand. Fl. 2: 

 208. 1926. Based on P. aspera var. laxius- 

 cula Blytt. Minnesota specimens so named 

 are referred to P. glauca Vahl. 



Poa nemoralis var. montana Gaudin, 

 Alpina 3: 27. 1808. Switzerland. Minne- 

 sota specimens distributed under this name 

 do not agree with Gaudin's description, nor 

 that of Ascherson and Graebner. They 

 appear to be rather small specimens of 

 Poa interior Rydb. 



PERSONS FOR WHOM GRASSES 

 HAVE BEEN NAMED 24 



This list includes names of persons for 

 whom valid genera, species, or varieties of 

 grasses in the Manual have been named. 



Addison. See Brown. 



Alexander, Annie M. (1867- ). Botan- 

 ical and zoological collector, Oakland, Calif.; 

 collections mainly from western North Am- 

 erica and Hawaii. Ectosperma alexandrae. 



Anderson, Charles Lewis (1827-1910). 

 Practicing physician of Carson Cit}^, Nev., 

 and Santa Cruz, Calif.; correspondent of 

 Asa Gray. Stipa lepida var. andersoni. 



Arsene, Hermano Gerfroy (1867-1938). 

 Professor in Sacred Heart Training College, 

 Las Vegas, N. Mex.; collected extensively in 

 Mexico. Muhlenbergia arsenei. 



Ashe, William Willard (1872-1932). Bot- 

 anist and forester, U. S. Forest Service. 

 Panicum ashei. 



Baker, Charles Fuller (1872-1927). Bot- 

 anist and entomologist, teacher and ad- 

 ministrator, who collected in Colorado, 

 California, Cuba, and the Philippine Islands. 

 Agropyron bakeri; Agrostis bakeri. 



Baker, Charles Henry (1848- ). Horti- 

 culturist, collector of fruits and seeds, 

 resident of Oakland, Allegheny County, 

 Pa., and Orange County, Fla. Spartina 

 bakeri. 



Barrelieri, Jacques (1606-73). French 

 medical botanist, author of a work on the 

 plants of France, Spain, and Italy. Era- 

 grostis barrelieri. 



Beckmann, Johann (1739-1811). German 

 botanist, author of a botanical lexicon. 

 Beckmannia. 



Belanger, Charles Paulus (1805-81). 

 French botanist, who collected extensively 

 in the Old World. When Steudel described 

 Anthephora belangeri (Hilaria belangeri) the 

 specific name belangeri was used, apparently 

 through inadvertence, instead of one for 

 Jean Louis Berlandier (1805-51), who col- 

 lected the type specimen in Mexico. Belanger 

 botanized in Martinique, but apparently 

 never in Mexico.
