“llab. in insnlis Philippines” Presl. Scribner states that the sheet labeled 
by Presl, now in the Bcrnhardi herbarinm at the Missouri Botanical Garden, 
contains three species, one being Setaria caudula Laim, one S. composiia Knnth, 
and one nndeterminable. As the first two S])ecies are tropical American, it 
seems probable that Presl credited the species to the Philippines through 
error, and that Setaria glolndaris Presl is a synonym of one of the above species, 
and not a Philijipine plant.
