the terminal panicles are somewhat smaller than in that spe- 

 cies. It differs from Panicum columbianum, to which Mr. 

 Kearney referred it in looking over these grasses, in the 

 loose and pubescent sheaths, pubescent culms and pilose 

 leaves . 



-^52 I can not determine. / 1 ^r^O^ ^^j ^3 



53 is probably Panicum boreale Nash. 



^ — 54. Panicum implicatum. 



J. 55 is, I think, Panicum leucothrix Nash, a recently published spe- 

 1 cies. It is comparable with Panicum car tilagineum of Muh- 



lenberg . 



-\^56 seems to me to be the same as my proposed Panicuiti implicatum. 

 ^ 57. Panicum implicatum. 



y;' 58. ¥e have specimens of this grass from Florida, and I confess 

 I that I do not know what it is. It appears to me to be a new 



species . 



V" 59 is probably the same, a younger growth. 



VTeo. A species very near to, if not identical with what I have fe- 

 ' garded as Panicum laxiflorum Lam. It differs a little from 



that species in the shape of the spikelets. It IS exactly 

 Panicum pubescens Ell., in Sl/iott's herbariuat. 



60a. Panicum laxiflorum Lam. 



The other sheets, which I have not numbergd With blue pencil, 

 I am in more doubt about than those I have numbered, and will Say 

 nothing about them at present. 



Hoping that the determinations which I have made may be of 

 some little use to you, and feeling sure that you appreciate the 

 difficulties In the way of determining this group of Panicums, and 

 extending to you and Mrs. Deane my kindest regards, I remain, 



youi*s '^ev^ tr-uiy.
