Erianthus fuhus. Kunth Gramin. i., 160 ; Fortescue River, H. Stuart Carey. The 
genus Elian thus has been unjustly suppressed in favor of Pollinia, although it was 
established already in 1803, and precisely in the circumscription adojited by the 
leading Agrostographers Beauvois and Kunth long since, and up to our time 
by Asa Gray. Pollinia on the other hand, as originally defined by Sprengel. in 
1815, does not differ from Andropogon, and in its subsequent limitations by that 
anthor includes, besides species of Andropogon, also some of Ischaemum, 
Diectomis, Pogonatherum, Leptochloa and even Oplismenus. In Trinius’s 
alteration it occurred only in 1833, when not really generically separable from 
Erianthus. There are, however, many reasons for recombining it with Saccharum, 
as a sub-genus merely. Mr. Bentham and General Munro, at least at some former 
occasions (e.g. Flor. Hongkong, 420), transposed Eulalia, estabhshed by Kunth 
in 1830, by merging it into Pollinia; but, if Eulalia is to be maintained, it must 
bo for Pollinia of recent authors, while Eulalia of Trinius forms merely a section 
of Erianthus.
