Regarding Paspalum fuscescens Presl, the type locality is first given "Hah. 
in regione montana Peruviae,” but on page 350 of the same work this is corrected 
to ‘‘Hah. ad Monte-Rey, Californiae.” As it 'is known that a considerable number 
of Presl’s Philippine plants were erroneously labeled as having been collected in 
and about Monterey, California, it seems probable tliat the type of Paspalum 
fuscescens W'as a Philippine and not American plant, and although Scribner 
considers it a valid species, it seems to me to be referable to TMgilaria longiflora
