Fic. 320.—Distribution of P. scribnerianum. 
\. 172. Panicum oligosanthes Schult. 
Panicum pauciflorum Ell. Bot. 8. C. & Ga. 1: 120. 1816, not R. Br. 1810. ‘‘In 
Georgia, not very rare.”’” The type, in the Elliott Herbarium, is a single culm begin- 
ning to branch, with five leaves and an exserted panicle 6 cm. long and 6.5 cm. wide. 
The accompanying label reads: ‘‘Panicum pauciflorum E. Hab: in humidis umbro- 
sisque. Flor. Ap: Ma.” 
Panicum oligosanthes 4 Schult. Mant. 2: 256. 1824. Based on P. pauciflorum EIL., 
the name being changed because of P. pauciflorum R. Br. 
«This name is incorrectly formed; the word should be oliganthum, but since the 
incorrect form has been sanctioned by usage it seems wiser not now to correct it, 
especially since to do so would invalidate P. oliganthum Schlecht. 1854.
