species, hut 1 liave followed Sci'iluier. who has oxainincd Haeiike’s specimen on 
which the sp)ecies is based, in reducing Paspahnn cartihu/ineum Prcsl to F. sorohi- 
culatum Linn., as I can detect no characters in the description of the former 
hy which it can be satisfactorily distinguished from the latter. I can also 
see no reason for retaining Paspalum Ihvnbergii Kunth as a distinct species, 
assuming that Mez was correct in his identification of some of the specimens 
referred to that species in Perk. Frag. FI. Philip. (1904) 141.

A much more robust form than the species with larger spikelets, ])ossibly the

Hooker f.,® reduces this species to Paspalum scrobiculatum Linn., and perhaps 
correctly so. I have referred the form with 2-ranked spikelets to Paspalum 
scrobiculatum Linn., and the form with 4-ranked spikelets to Paspalum longi- 
folium Roxb.
