Efgardiiig Paspalwn fuftovni Presl, the place of origin of tlie type specimen 
is quite uncertain, Presl stating: “Hab. in Luzonia ? in Peruviae montanis Inia- 
noccensibns? Mexico?” Scribner, who has examined Haenke’s specimen on which 
the species was based, considers it a good species and transfers it to Syntherisma. 
Judging from PresPs description and Scribner’s figure, the latter based on the 
type, I should refer Pas-palvm fuscurn to Digitaria violascens Link.

I can not distinguish the specimen determined by Mez as Panicum pul>e7'ulum 
from those detennined by Haekel as P. pedicellare, the specimens agreeing more 
closely with the description of the latter. Hooker f., cites the older name Panicum 
granulare Trim, as a synonym, but the description of that species available does 
not closely apply to our material.

from the description it seems probable that this was an American, and not a 
Philippine plant, and is possibly referable to Digitaria. serotina Mich.
