MANUAL OF THE GRASSES OF THE WEST INDIES DAES 
In Grasses of the West Indies this species was referred to Panicum 
millegrana Poir. That species, differing chiefly in having long- 
pedicelled spikelets, is not known from North America, except for 
the type specimen of P. patentissimum Desv., said to be from ‘‘Saint- 
Domingue [and] la Nouvelle-Espagne.”” The type, in the Paris 
Herbarium, is labeled ‘“‘Hispaniola.”” Like many localities cited by 
Desvaux it is probably erroneous. 
Damp woods and shady banks, Mexico and Trinidad to Paraguay.
