Tropics generally. 
DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES. 
Chlokis crinita Lag. Varied. Ciene. 4 (1805) 143; Kuntli Enuin. 1 (1833) 
208; Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. 3 (1859) 389; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1883) 320. 
“Insulae Phili])pinae” Kuntli. Apparently not a Chloris, and probably not a 
Philippine plant. 
Chloris truncata R. Br. Prodr. (1810) 180; Kuntli Enuin. 1 (1833) 200; 
Miq. El. Ind. Bat. 3 (1859) 387; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1883) 320. Chloris 
JoZic7(Osf«c/ii/« Lag. Gen. et Sp. Nov. (1810) 5. 
Chloris dolichostachya. Lag., is credited by that author to the Philippines, 
and was reduced to C. truncata, R. Br. by Link. Lagasca’s description is insufficient 
for accurate identification of his species. Chloris truncata R. Br., is an Aus- 
tralian species. 
Chloris inflata Llanos Frag. PI. Filip. (1851) non Link, reduced by F.-Villar 
to the iireceding, but apparently an erroneous reduction. 
Chloris radiata Sw.; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1883) 320. Certainly an erroneous 
identification on the part of F.-Villar. A spcies of tropical America. 
Chloris rufescens Lag. Varied. Ciene. 4 (1805) 143; Kunth Enuni. 1 (1833) 
208; Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. 3 (1859) 388; Llanos, Frag. PI. Filip. (1851)?; F.-Vill. 
Nov. App. (1883) 320. 
“Insulae Philijipinae” Kunth. Possibly not a Philippine plant. 
Chloris tener (Presl) Scribn. Rept. 3ito. Bot. Gard. 10 (1899) 41. pi. J/O. 
Cynodon tener Presl Rel. Haenk. 1 (1830) 291; Kunth Enuin. 1 (1833) 260; 
Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. 3 (1859) 383; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1883) 320. 
“Hab. ad Sorzogon, Luzoniae” Presl. Apparently an American plant, errone- 
ously localized by Presl. Scribner states that it is very close to an American 
species, Chloris petraea Sw. Possibly only a reduced form of that species. 
(55) ELEUSINE Gaertn. 
Spikes digitate, the spikelets many tlowered, crowded. Glumes closely 
imbricate, diverging, compressed and keeled, obtuse or mncronate. 
Species 6, mostly of the tropical and subtropical regions of the Old World. 1 
cosmopolitan; 1 in the Philippines.
