GRAMINEAE 
ANDROPOGON Linnaeus 
ANDROPOGON FRAGILIS R. Br. Prodr. (1810) 202. 
Kwangtung Province, White Cloud Mountain, near Canton, Levine 1145, 
August 30, 1917. 
This is the typical form of the species and conforms entirely with Banks 
and Solander’s specimen, on which the species was based, a fragment of 
which has been kindly communicated to me by Mr. J. H. Maiden, director 
of the Botanic Garden, Sydney. 
Var. SINENSIS Rendle in Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 36 (1904) 372. 
Kwangtung Province, White Cloud Mountain, near Canton, Levine 1140, 
August 28, 1917. 
This form, which I at first considered to represent a distinct species, 
approximates the type in all characters except in the sessile spikelet being 
densely villous on the back in the lower one-half, the first glume of the 
empty spikelet being glabrous in the type. The Philippine material referred 
to Andropogon fragilis R. Br., with the exception of a single specimen, 
and New Guinea material collected by King, differs from the type not only 
in its smaller spikelets but also in having the rachis-joints and pedicels 
of the sterile spikelets entirely glabrous, and will have to be distinguished 
at least as a variety.
