© 115. Panicum sphagnicola Nash. 
Panicum sphagnicolum{cola] Nash, Bull. Torrey Club 22: 422. 1895. ‘‘The late 
and much branched state was collected by the writer this summer in a sphagnum bog 
at Lake City, Florida, and will be distributed as No. 2500.’’ The type, in Nash’s 
herbarium, consists of several culms 45 to 55 cm. high, with long internodes and 
divaricate branches; the primary panicle is devoid of spikelets, the secondary panicles 
are small and few-flowered. There are three sheets of this collection in Nash’s her- 
barium, none of which is marked type. The foregoing refers to the largest specimen.
