Hitchcock, Systematic Agros- tologist of the United States Department of Agriculture, and Agnes Chase, Assistant Agrostologist, brings together in a single convenient publication our knowledge of the grass flora of the West Indian Islands. Though some of the earliest collections of plants sent from America to Europe came from the West Indies, and though the flora of this region has since been studied by many botanists, no account of the grasses of the whole region has hitherto been published. The present paper is based upon large collections from practically all the islands of the group and upon field studies by both authors. It includes 110 genera and 455 species, of which one genus and 17 species are new. The new genus, Saugetia,'‘is named in honor of Brother Leén, Joseph Sylvestre Sauget, of the Colegio de La Salle, Habana, one of the most active of Cuban botanists. The brief descriptions, giving the salient characteristics of the species and genera, are intended to supplement the keys and confirm identifications. To facilitate the use of the work as a manual the detailed citation of specimens under each species is omitted. Ap- pended to the paper, however, is a list of all the numbered specimens of West Indian grasses in the United States National Herbarium. FREDERICK V.

By A. 8S. HircHcock and AGNES CHASE. INTRODUCTION. The term West Indies as here used includes Bermuda, the Ba- hamas, Trinidad, and Tobago, but excludes the Dutch Islands off the coast of Venezuela. Trinidad and Tobago belong floristically to South America but are here included with the West Indies because they were so included by Grisebach in his Flora of the British West Indian Islands. The flora of the West Indies has been studied from an early date. It is fortunate for the student of this flora that many of the tropical American species described in early works were based upon speci- mens collected in these islands. The literature of the West Indian flora is reviewed by Urban,' who gives also biographical sketches of botanical collectors who have traveled in the West Indies. The most important works are the following: Sloane, Hans. A voyage to the islands Madera, Barbados, Nieves, 8S. Christo- pher, and Jamaica * * *, Vol. 1, 1707. Vol. 2,1725. The chief importance of this work is due to the fact that the plates are often cited by Linnzeus and others in connection with the descriptions of plants and help to determine the types of the species described. The plants described by Sloane are in the Sloane Herbarium at the British Museum of Natural History.’ Browne, Patrick. The civil and natural history of Jamaica. 1756. Binomi- als are not used in this work. Browne sent a small collection of Jamaican plants to Linneus. These are in the Linnean Herbarium and may be recog- nized by the letters “ Br.’ upon the sheets. These plants were described by Linnzus in the tenth edition of the Systema Naturae (1759) and by Elmgren, a pupil of Linneus, in a pamphlet entitled Plantarum Jamaicensium Pugillus (1759). The latter was included by Linnzeus in the Amoenitates Academicae, volume 5 (1760). Swartz, Olof. Nova genera et species plantarum seu prodromus descrip- tionum vegetabilium. 1788. Swartz’s plants are preserved in the Natural 1Symb. Antill. 1. 1898. ?See Hitchcock, The grasses of Sloane’s ee wes of Jamaica. Contr. U. S. Nat.

They were more completely described in a later work entitled Florae Indiae Occidentalis (vol. 1, 1797; vol. 2, 1800; vol. 8, 1806). The grasses were mostly from Jamaica. Hamilton, W. Prodromus plantarum Indiae Occidentalis. 1825. Several grasses are described, mostly from specimens in the herbarium of Professor A. N. Desvaux. Sagra, R. de la. Historia fisica politica y natural de la isla de Cuba. Vol- umes 9 to 12 are devoted to botany, the grasses being described by Richard in volume i1 (1850). Grisebach, A. H. R. Flora of the British West Indian Islands. 1864. The type specimens are mostly in the herbarium at Gottingen, though many are in the Kew Herbarium. Many Cuban grasses are described in his Catalogus plantarum cubensium (1866).? In his “ Vegetation der Karaiben ”* there is an annotated list of the grasses of the Lesser Antilles. Husnot, T. and Coutance A. Enumération des Glumacées récoltées aux Antilles francaises. 1871. An annotated list. Wright, C., and Sauvalle, F. A. Flora Cubana. 18732 Urban, I. Symbolae antillanae. 1898 et seq. In this work Pilger has de- scribed several grasses. An account of the grasses of Porto Rico is-found in the Flora Portoricensis.* The Krug and Urban Herbarium was lent in 1912-13 to the U. S. National Herbarium for study. In this herbarium are many Bertero specimens, some the types or duplicates of types of species described by Sprengel, together with collections of Rugel, Linden, Wulischlaegel, Sieber, and others.

Here are given details concerning the collections of Wright in Cuba and regarding the works of Grisebach and of Wright and Sauvalle, based mainly upon Wright’s collections. The present paper is based primarily upon the study of collections in the United States National Herbarium. At the end of this article all these specimens are listed with their identifications. For this reason the citation of specimens under each species is limited to the relatively rare species. Several other important herbaria have been consulted and specimens contained therein have been considered in defining the range of the different species.

L. Britton and other members of the staff of the New York Botanical Garden, who have visited nearly all parts of the West Indies. The herbarium of _ the Botanical Garden, Port of Spain, Trinidad, contains a large collection of Trinidad plants made by successive superintendents of the garden.t_ This collection was examined by Mr. Hitchcock during his visit to Trinidad. - The senior author first visited the West Indies in 1890. An ac- count of this trip was given in a paper entitled “ List of Plants Col- lected in the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Grand Cayman.”? In 1906 he visited Cuba, collecting in the Provinces of Habana and Pinar del Rio. In 1912 he visited Jamaica, Trinidad, and Tobago. During this second visit to Jamaica Mr. Hitchcock was greatly aided by Mr. William Harris, Superintendent of Public Gardens, Hope Gardens. He was similarly aided in Trinidad by Mr. W. G. Freeman, Assistant Director of Agriculture, Port of Spain. Mr. W. E. Broadway, Su- perintendent of the Experiment Station at Scarborough, extended many courtesies to him while in Tobago. The junior author visited Porto Rico in 1918, where her work was greatly forwarded by Dr. F. L. Stevens, then Dean of the College of Agriculture, Mayaguez. The citation of synonymy is not complete; names based upon col- leections from elsewhere than the West Indies are usually not given unless they occur in some of the works on the West Indian flora. An attempt has been made to account for names based upon West Indian material, but only by an exhaustive search through literature can the synonymy be completed. The descriptions of the genera and species are usually merely diag- nostic and are intended to supplement the keys. Common names have been added in those cases where the grass is definitely known by an English name over a considerable area. To several Cuban species are appended vernacular names which were ob- tained in part from the Flora de Cuba and in part were communi- cated by Brother Leén* and by Professor Roig. *See Herbarium List.

Type in U. S. National Herbarium, no. 950205, collected in pine barren, San Julian, south of Guane, Province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, December 27, 1916, by Brother Leén (no. 6981). In the rather frequent presence of a pair of sessile fertile spikelets at a joint, this species departs from the arrangement typical in Manisuris, an ar- rangement known in but a single anomalous species of the Philippines, Rott- boellia triflora Hubbard, belonging to the same group. The above description is drawn from the single specimen cited. It is possibie the pair of spikelets is an individual variation. Pb 5. Manisuris aurita (Steud.). Mamks e Rev . Qomn - CA 2 386.

Waste places, introduced in a few localities in Mexico and the West Indies. Native of the Mediterranean region, whence originally described. Cuba (Habana, Leén 2788; Manacas, Leén 5841, 5870), and Santo Domingo (Wright, Parry & Brummel 616). The citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus (L.) Rendle, Andropogon nardus L.) and the lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf) are cultivated and may possibly be found growing spontaneously. They are robust aromatic grasses with large compound inflorescences of small awnless or obscurely awned racemes, the first species with the glumes of the sessile spikelets flat on the back, the second with these glumes concave on the back. The essential oils of these and related species are used in perfumery. Lemon grass is called “hierba de limén” in Cuba. In Porto Rico the fibrous rootstock of C. nardus is used as a toothbrush by the poorer people. Ae CALC ta 14. ANATHERUM Beauv.

A robust, densely tufted, erect, branching perennial with scabrous-margined blades, elongate-pyramidal panicles, and muricate spikelets. Commonly cultivated in the West Indies as a hedge plant and for its aromatic roots. Sometimes escaped along roadsides. Originally described from India. Andropoyon—sqrerresns ane Andropogon muricatus are also described from India. Vetiveria arundinacea is described from the West Indies, Jamaica and Trinidad being mentioned, as ‘“ perhaps introduced from the East Indies.” This is called “ vetiver’’? in Cuba. The roots are packed with articles of cloth- ing to preserve them from moths. This is the grass that produces the aromatic roots called in Porto Rico ‘“ pacholi” * or “ pachuli.’” The Indian name “ khus- khus ” is used in the English islands. The aromatic roots are sometimes woven into screens which, when wet, are used to perfume living quarters. Also some- times called “cockroach grass” and ‘‘khas-khas.” *A detailed account of these grasses is given by Stapf in an article on The Oil- grasses of India and Ceylon (Kew Bull. Misc. Inf. 1906: 297-363. 1906). ?Maza and Roig, Est. Exp. Agron. Bol. 22: 108. 1914. * Cook, O. F., and Collins, G. N. Hconomic Plants of Porto Rico. Contr. U. S. Nat.

Found in all the large islands and probably in most of the smaller ones. This species is described by Humboldt, Bonpland, and Kunth,* with Habana, Cuba, given as locality, under the name “Andropogon avenaceus Schrad.” This is evidently a misprint for A. arundinaceus Willd., as described by Schrader.’ In Cuba this is called “‘ cafluela ”’ and “ hierba de Don Carlos.” 2.

' Grassy hillsides, southern Mexico and the West Indies to Argentina. Orig- inally described from Hispaniola. The type of Andropogon setosum is from Cuba. Grisebach cites Piptatherum setosum A. Rich., “ex descr.,” but Rich- ard’s description does not well apply to this species. It is probably wiser to consider Andropogon setosum as a new species rather than as a change of name and to take Grisebach’s specimen, Wright 3897, as the type. Andropogon agrostoide was described from Argentina and Andropogon francavillanus from Mexico. - Central Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Porto Rico (vicinity of San Juan). 4 2.

Triscenia ovina Griseb. Mem. Amer. Acad. n. ser. 8: 534. 1862. A tufted perennial with filiform culms and blades, compressed, subindurate sheaths crowded at the base, and attenuate few-flowered panicles. Only known from two collections from eastern Cuba, the type, Wright 756, and Shafer 3668 from Piedra Gorda to Rio Seboruco. 25. ACHLAENA Griseb. Spikelets with the rachilla produced into a pointed callus; first glume *re- duced to a long slender awn, the second glume awned from the summit; sterile lemma awnless, infolding the membranaceous fertile lemma and palea. From Grisebach’s description of the genus it is evident that he failed to note the palea, mistaking the sterile lemma for the fertile lemma (flos fertilis) and the fertile lemma for the palea, stating as he does that the palea is 1-nerved.

Hackel places the genus in Oryzeae, and elsewhere describes a specimen of A. piptostachya as Arthropogon stipitatus, giving so clear and detailed a de- seription as to leave no doubt of its identity. Grisebach states that there is but 1 stamen; we find 3, as did Hackel in the plant he described under Arthropogon. Achlaena is closely allied to the South American Arthropogon or is possibly congeneric. 1. Achlaena piptostachya Griseb. Cat. Pl. Cub. 229. 1866. ‘ Arthropogon stipitatus Hack, Sitzungsb. Akad, Wiss.

Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 694431, collected in the water of a small pool, Troy, Jamaica, November 6, 1912, by A. S. Hitchcock (no. 9795). Paspalum serratum is most nearly related to P. dissectum, from which it differs in its sparingly branching habit, less leafy culms, and larger pointed spikelets. Known only from the type collection and from a fragmentary speci- men in the Grisebach Herbarium, collected by Alexander Prior in Jamaica. 3. Paspalum repens Berg. Act. Helv. Phys.

Paspalum distachyon Poit.; Trin. Mém. Acad. St. Pétersb. VI. Sci. Nat. 1: 142. 18384. An erect perennial with slender striate yellow rhizomes and tufted erect slender wiry glabrous culms 20 to 40 cm. tall; sheaths about as long as the internodes or slightly overlapping, glabrous or with a few hairs at the summit; ligule membranaceous, about 0.2 mm. long; blades erect or ascending, 5 to 10 em. long (rarely longer), 1 to 2 mm. wide, involute, glabrous or obscurely pubescent on the upper surface; racemes 2 at the apex of the culm, usually naked at the base, 3 to 5.5 em. long, 2 mm. broad or slightly broader, erect or slightly divergent, the flexuous rachis 0.5 to 0.7 mm. wide, minutely scabrous on the margin; spikelets solitary, glabrous, on minute pubescent pedicels, not at all imbricate, 2.6 to 8 mm. long, 1.4 mm. wide, abruptly acuminate, the glume and sterile lemma equal, exceeding the fruit, 3-nerved, or the midnerve of the sterile lemma occasionally suppressed, the lemma sometimes transversely wrinkled ; fruit about 2.1 mm. long, 1.2 mm. wide, subacute. Closely related to P. vaginatum but much more slender, rhizomatous instead of stoloniferous, or very rarely producing stolons as well as rootstocks, the sheaths not crowded nor infiated, the blades narrower, softer, and involute- setaceous. Paspalum distachyon might be supposed to be a depauperate form of P. vaginatum but that depauperate forms of that species are dwarfed and stout, not elongate and slender. The specimens cited below are remarkably uniform in character, P. distachyon being apparently much less variable than P. vaginatum or P. distichum. Moist or dry brackish or alkaline soil, mostly near the coast, Cuba and Jamaica. Described from ‘“ Doming[o].” The type has not been examined, but the description so well applies to our specimens as to leave little doubt of their identity.

Similar to P.vaginatum, the flowering culms commonly taller, the blades slightly wider and softer. Ditches and wet (rarely brackish) places, southern United Stages and West. Indies to South America; also in the Old World. The source of Linnzeus’s specimen is unknown. Called “ sacasebo” in Cuba. Bermuda, Bahamas (New Providence, Watling Island), Cuba, Jamaica, Porto Rico, St. Croix, Antigua, Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, Grenada, Trinidad, and Tobago. 8. Paspalum pubiflorum Rupr.; Fourn. Mex. Pl. 2: 11. 1886. Culms compressed, usually decumbent at base, the nodes and sheaths com- monly pubescent; blades flat, 8 to 12 cm. long, 5 to 6 mm. wide; racemes few to several, ascending, rather stout; 1 to 5 cm. distant on the axis; the spikelets — in pairs, pubescent. 4 Along ditches and in waste ground, southwestern United States to Beltvir; represented in Cuba by a single collection from Finca del Obispo, near Habana, Leén 1986, the specimen less pubescent than typical.

Pl. 2: 6. 1886. Closely related to P. notatum, perhaps not specifically distinct; spikelets less than 2.5 mm. long, less shining; racemes more widely diverging, lower leaves often sparsely ciliate. Open ground, southern Mexico and West Indies to Uruguay. Originally described from Mexico. Cuba (Province of Pinar del Rio and Isle of Pines), Jamaica (Bull Head Mountain), and Porto Rico (Trujillo Alto). 12. Paspalum pumilum Nees, Agrost. Bras. 52. 1829. Resembling P. notatum, densely tufted, leafy at base, forming mats, the few slender culms ascending; sheaths and commonly the blades pubescent; racemes 2, approximate, arcuately divergent, the dull oval spikelets about 1.8 mm. long.

Open slopes, banks, and savannas, mostly moist soil, southeastern United States to Argentina; throughout the West Indies except Bermuda and the Bahamas. Originally described from Georgia and Florida; Paspalum undula- tum described from Porto Rico, and P. antillense from Guadeloupe. 15. Paspalum olivaceum sp, nov. A leafy annual, olivaceous when dry; culms glabrous, slightly fleshy, com- pressed-striate when dry, 40 to 60 cm. long, ascending from a decumbent base, often rooting at the lower nodes, finally bearing simple floriferous branches; sheaths loose, thin, compressed, glabrous; ligule membranaceous, erose, 1.5 to 2 mm. long; blades lax, er ‘ect, at least at the base, flat, or folded at base, com- monly 10 to 15 cm. long,, 6 to 10 mm. wide, usually pilose on the upper surface at base, otherwise glabrous; panicle short-exserted from the bladeless upper sheath, the slender subflexuous axis 4 to 7 mm. long; racemes 3 to 7, arcuate- spreading, 2 to 35 em. long, the rachis scarcely 1 mm. wide, a few long hairs at the base; spikelets mostly in pairs, 2 mm. long, 1. mm. wide, obovate, strongly convex on the back; glume and sterile lemma equal, 5-nerved, thin and commonly torn, glabrous or the glume obscurely strigose, the lemma often minutely wrinkled inside the slightly raised margin; fruit dark brown, shah ing, obovate-hemispherical. Type in U. S. National Herbarium, no. 559837, collected in the island of Guadeloupe, September 23, 1897, by Pére Duss (no. 3915). Paspalum olivaceum is one of the group of brown-fruited annuals to which P. boscianum belongs. Because of its wrinkled sterile lemma it looks like a small lax-leaved P. plicatulum, from which species it differs in its branching culms and smaller spikelets and in being an annual. No nabitat is given on the labels of the specimens, but the species is, probably, like its allies, found along ditches and in wet clay ground. Guadeloupe, Martinique, and the Guianas. 16. Paspalum wrightii sp. nov. A glabrous perennial, the culms 1.5 meters or more long, simple, decumbent or floating at the base, with rootlets at the distant nodes, lush, with loose over- lapping sheaths, the upper sheaths close, elongate; ligule membranaceous, 1 mm. long; blades suberect, rather firm, 20 to 40 cm. long, about 5 mm. wide (the uppermost greatly reduced), involute toward the summit, scabrous on, the margins and bearing a tuft of long hairs just back of the ligule; racemes 5 or 6, ascending, 4 to 6 cm. long, the common uxis slender, 8 to 10 cm. long, not hairy in the axils or with one or two hairs only; rachis 15 mm. wide, glabrous, the margin minutely scabrous; spikelets in pairs, closely imbricate, 2.2 to 2.5 mm. long, about 1.4 mm. wide, elliptic to slightly obovate, glabrous, the glume and sterile lemma equal, thin, slightly and irregularly wrinkled, 8-nerved or with «an additional obscure pair near the margin; fruit about 2.2 mm. long, 1.2 mm. wide, elliptic, chestnut-brown, the rolled margins of the lemma pale. Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 865562, collected in Cuba by Charles Wright (no. 3843). Apparently an aquatic or semiaquatie and probably allicd to Paspalum plica- tulum. Known only from the type collection, on which is given no date and no locality other than Cuba. The floating habit is inferred from the texture of the lower part of the culm and its loose slightly inflated sheaths.

This is the species doubtfully referred to P. elatum Rich. by Hitchcock? and described under that name by Nash.? Paspalum elatum is described as having spikelets twice as wide as the rachis and a first glume half as long as the spikelet on one of the pair. It must be, as Doell suggests, allied to Panicum monostachyum (Paspalum pilosum). 17. Paspalum melanospermum Desy. in Poir. in Lam. Encycl. Suppl. 4: 315. 1816. An erect,nearly glabrous annual, 30 to 40 cm. tall; culms compressed, branch- ing, commonly purplish; sheaths thin, loose, with a hyaline shining golden brown margin; blades flat, lax with a very narrow pale shining margin; racemes 2 or 3, the lateral arcuate-spreading, about 2 cm. below the erect or curved terminal one; rachis about 1.5 mm. wide; spikelets solitary or paired, rusty drab, strongly plano-convex, broadly obovate, 2 to 2.2 mm. long, the glume and sterile lemma thin; fruit dark brown, shining. Moist clay banks and slopes, Florida and the West Indies to Brazil. Origi- nally described from Cayenne, North American specimens have been referred to P. scrobiculatum L., a species described from India.

Mostly in partially shaded limestone soil, Florida and the West Indies. Poiret’s description is insufficient for identification, but Mr. Nash, who has examined the specimen, notes, comparing it with Heller 10, the type of P. hel- leri, that the “type of P. glabrum Poir. is a more slender plant with smaller glabrous spikelets.” This, the typical but less common form, is represented by Britton € Brace 404, from the Bahamas, and by Chase 6408, 6423, 6618, from Porto Rico. It differs only in having glabrous spikelets. In Heller 10 the spike- lets are 2 mm. long, but in many specimens having pubescent spikelets the spikelets are but 1.8 mm. long, as in the plants with glabrous spikelets just mentioned, while in Chase 6499, from Porto Rico, the glabrous spikelets are 2mm. long. In Hitchcock 9674, from Jamaica, the spikelets are 2 mm. long, most of them wholly glabrous, but a few pubescent on the convex side as in the type of P. helleri. No other character can be found to differentiate the specimens with pubescent from those with glabrous spikelets. The type speci- mens of all the names given are from Porto Rico. Bahamas (New Providence, Nassau, Andros, Fortune Island, and Inagua), Cuba, Santo Domingo, Jamaica (Montego Bay), Porto Rico (common through- out, a characteristic plant of cocoanut groves), St. Thomas, St. Croix, Anagada, Tortola, St. Jan, Dominica, Martinique, Grenada, and Barbados. 36. Paspalum bakeri Hack. Inf. Est. Centr. Agron. Cuba 1: 410. 1906. A glabrous tufted perennial, the flattened culms widely spreading, 20 to 45 em. long, finally branching, the stiff divergent, rather short blades involute- pointed ; racemes 2 or 3, suberect, 2 to 6 cm. long, 1 to 1.5 cm. distant, the pale glabrous spikelets in pairs, narrowly obovate, 2 mm. long. Near the seashore, Province of Habana, Cuba, whence described (Baker 1824 being the type), and Isle of Pines. 87. Paspalum rigidifolium Nash, Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 1: 292. 1899. Perennial, the slender culms stifily erect, the linear glabrous blades mostly aggregated toward the base, a prominent tuft of hairs borne just above the ligule. Sandy open woods and savannas, Florida to Mississippi and in the Province of Pinar del Rio (Chirigote), Cuba. Originally described from Florida. 88. Paspalum propinquum Nash, Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 1: 291. 1899. Tufted, the slender culms spreading or ascending, the flat thin but firm blades usually 5 to 6 mm. wide, strongly ciliate, otherwise glabrous or nearly so; racemes 1 or, on the terminal peduncle, sometimes 2, the pale, minutely pubescent or glabrous spikelets about 1.8 mm. long. Open ground, fields and pastures, southeastern United States and the West Indies. Originally described from Florida. Grisebach* refers this species to P. setaceum Michx. Bermuda, Cuba (Habana), Jamaica, and Porto Rico. 39. Paspalum ciliatifolium Michx. Fl. Bor. Amer. 1: 44. 1808. Closely related to the preceding, the blades more lax, commonly wider. *Fl. Brit. W. Ind. 542. 1864. 316 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. Central and eastern United States and Province of Habana, Cuba. Originally described from Carolina. 40. Paspalum debile Michx. Fl. Bor. Amer. 1: 44. 1803. Perennial, with a cluster of short leafy shoots at base, the blades flat, rather thin, pilose on both surfaces, conspicuously ciliate; culms slender, ascending; racemes 4 to 6 cm. long, usually 2 on the terminal culm, solitary on the axillary peduncles, the pale, minutely pubescent, broadly ovate spikelets 1.6 to 1.8 mm. long. Open savannas and slopes, southeastern United States and in Cuba (Herra- dura, Hitchcock 471), the Cuba specimens less strongly pubescent than typical. Originally described from the Carolinas and Georgia. A specimen collected in Inagua, Bahamas, in 1890, by A. S. Hitchcock is allied to the preceding, but at present we are unable to refer it to any known species. It seems to be nearest to P. psammophilum Nash, of the Middle At- lantic States, but the spikelets are narrower than in that species and the plant much smaller. 41. Paspalum decumbens Swartz, Prodr.

Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 865563, collected in wet ground in savannas west of Manacas, Province of Santa Clara, Cuba, by Brother Leén and F. R. Cazanas, December 28, 1915 (no. 5850). “Known only from the type collection. This species is most nearly related to Paspalum orbiculatum, from which it is distinguished by its larger pubescent spikelets, as well as by its larger size, more or less pubescent foliage, and longer narrower blades. 50. Paspalum conjugatum Bergius, Act. Helv. Phys. Math. 7: 129. 1762. An extensively creeping perennial with compressed culms, the suberect flower- ing branches sometimes 1 meter tall; blades fiat, rather thin, up to 20 em. long, commonly about 8 mm. wide; racemes a pair (rarely a third below), widely divaricate, usually arcuate, slender, commonly 10 to 12 em. long, the pale yellow flattened imbricate spikelets about 1.5 mm. long, with scant long silky hairs around the margin. Moist ground, Gulf States to South America; Tropics and Subtropies of both hemispheres; throughout the West Indies; one of the commonest grasses of moist savahnas and ditch banks, forming extensive and close mats. Originally described from Dutch Guiana. This species is said by C. F. Baker and by Pére Duss to be an excellent forage grass. Maza and Roig? state that it is eaten by cattle only when they are driven to it by hunger. The common - name “sour-grass.” given to this species by Grisebach, would indicate that it was unpalatable. In Cuba it is called “caflamazo” and ‘“ cafiamazo hembro.” 50a. Paspalum conjugatum pubescens Doell in Mart. Fl. Bras. 27: 55. 1877. On the average coarser than the preceding, the blades somewhat firmer, pubescent; spikelets 2 mm. long, the silky hairs more copious. Moist savannas and banks, South America. In the West Indies found in Grenada only (Broadicay in 1904). Originally described from Brazil. PASPALUM DILATATUM Poir. In the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden there is a specimen of this species from “lawn, Agr. Sta.,” Bermuda (Brown, Britton & Bisset 2005). This is a tall grass with flat ovate ciliate spikelets, often cultivated in the Subtropics under the name of “ water-grass.” 51. Paspalum fasciculatum Willd. in Fliigge, Monogr.

Paspalum leucocheilum Wright, Anal. Acad. Cienc. Habana 8: 208. 1871. Paspalum virgatum var. jacquinianum Fliigge, Monogr. Pasp. 190. 1810. A robust perennial growing in large clumps, the erect culms commonly 2 meters tall, the lower sheaths nodulose in drying; blades commonly 50 cm. or more long, 1 to 2 cm. wide, flat, the margins very scabrous; racemes several to many, 5 to 12 cm. long, forming a panicle 20 to 40 cm. long, a tuft of long hairs - in the axils, the dull purplish rachises often sparsely ciliate with long hairs; spikelets in pairs, crowded, grayish, becoming rusty brown at maturity, obovate, 3 mm. long, 2 mm. wide, silky-hairy around the margin of the glume and the summit of the sterile lemma. In Porto Rico this and other species of this group are called “ cortedero ” because of the cruel cutting edges of the blades. Banks and Slopes, mostly moist and swampy ground, Mexico and the West Indies to Argentina. Originally described from Jamaica. Paspalum leuco- cheilum was described from the Isle of Pines; P. virgatum var. jacquinianum from Caribbean islands. Throughout Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Santo Domingo, Porto Rico, Trinidad, and Tobago, and represented by specimens from Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, Grenada, and Barbados. Called ‘“‘ caguazo” in Cuba. 53. Paspalum secans sp. nov. Perennial, glabrous, in large clumps, with numerous long-leaved sterile shoots, the strong erect simple culms commonly 1 to nearly 2 meters tall; sheaths mostly overlapping, commonly separating from the culm and becoming involute above, ciliate at the summit, the lower rather loose and papery; ligule about 1.5 mm. long, membranaceous, with a. dense row of white hairs be- hind it; blades erect, as much as 1 meter long, firm, 5 to 10 mm. wide, taper- ing to a base narrower than the summit of the sheath, long-acuminate, flat but drying more or less inyolute, the margins very sharply serrulate; racemes 5 to 12 (rarely as many as 20), relatively slender, sometimes flexuous, spreading, 6 to 15 mm. long, pilose at the base, rather remote, the panicle loose and open; spikelets glabrous, mostly pale, in pairs, not so crowded as in P. virgatum, glabrous, 2.3 to 2.7 mm. long, 1.5 to 1.6 mm. wide, obovate-elliptic; fruit about 2.3 mm. long, pale, minutely roughened. : Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 732740, collected on Monte Mesa, Porto Rico, October 17, 1918, by Agnes Chase (no. 6174). The name refers to the sharp-cutting leaf blades. Open slopes and dryish savannas, affecting drier situations than the other allies of P. virgatum. : Most of the Cuba and Jamaica specimens are- somewhat more robust, with racemes on the average more numerous (12 to 15), the spikelets slightly wider. This Jamaican form, together with a yellow-panicled form of P. virgatwm, Grise- bach * described as P. virgatum var. stramineum, differentiating it by “ axis half as broad as the spikelets; glumes straw-colored or at length purplish-tawny, usually glabrous,” and citing March, Jamaica, and Wullschlaegel, Antigua, and also referring to Trinius, Icones, plate 1381. The March specimen in the Grise- bach Herbarium is the form with glabrous spikelets and pale fruit, the Wull- schlaegel specimen is P. virgatum. ‘Trinius’s plate 131 shows pubescent spike- *Fl. Brit.

In any case Grisebach’s varietal name would be, be- cause of P. stramineum Nash, untenable for a species. Paspalum secans is based on the Porto Rico collections; the Jamaica form may possibly be dis- tinct. Hitchcock’ refers this species to P® virgatum schreberianum Fliigge, de- scribed from South America, and Nash’ to P. schreberianum. We have not seen Fliigge’s specimen, but his description, “spikes about thirty, the rachis margin subpilose, spikelets glabrous,’ applies to our species only in the last character. Furthermore P. secans is not known from the continent, but from the West Indies only. Bahamas (Inagua, New Providence), Cuba, este Porto Rico (frequent throughout), St. Croix, and Antigua. Hack.

In large strong-rooted clumps, commonly 1.5 meters tall; lower sheaths nodulose, much overlapping; blades partially conduplicate, narrower, stiffer, and more scabrous than those of P. virgatum, often finely pubescent on the upper surface; racemes usually numerous, rather aggregated, ascending, the glabrous paired crowded spikelets usually glaucous-purplish or lead color, 2 to 2.2 mm. long, obovate-suborbicular, sometimes almost obcordate and apiculate. Open mostly moist grounds, Bahamas and the Greater Antilles to southern Brazil. Originally described from Brazil. The type specimen has not been examined, but this is the only Brazilian species known to us answering the de- seription, the characters ‘“ obovate-orbicular, glabrous, densely imbricate” ap- plying particularly well to the spikelets of this species. Paspalum underwoodu was described from Porto Rico, Underwood & Griggs 149 being the type. Bahamas (New Providence), Cuba, EET, eres pairs (pumice through- out), Trinidad, and Tobago. ff 224 é 55.

Syn. Pl. Glum. 1: 68. 1854. Panicum divaricatum var. stenostachyum Griseb. Fl. Brit. W. Ind. 551. 1864. Shrubby, with strong canes, clambering to a height of 3 or 4 meters, the main branches often fascicled, the vigorous secondary foliage shoots mostly strongly divaricate or zigzag; usually glabrous throughout except on the margin of the sheaths; blades commonly less than 1 cm. wide, only on vigorous shoots as much as 1.5 cm. wide; panicles usually less than 10 cm. long, the branches deflexed at maturity. Among shrubs at low altitudes, southern Florida to Central and South Amer- ica, throughout the West Indies. Originally described from Jamaica. The type of Panicum bambusoides is from Porto Rico; of P. chauvinii from Guade- loupe; of P. divaricatum var. stenostachyum from Jamaica. This species and L. sloanet were included by Richard* under the name Panicum glutinosum. In Cuba called ‘ pito de bejuco.” The commonest West Indian species of the genus, growing on all the islands, especially near the coast. 6. Lasiacis ligulata sp. nov. Panicum divaricatum var. puberulum Griseb. Fl. Brit. W. Ind. 551. 1864. Clambering to a height of 5 to 10 meters, the robust glabrous central cane as much as 1 cm. in diameter, the wide-spreading main branches and the arcuate secondary ones not in fascicles, not zigzag; sheaths ciliate on the over- lapping margin, otherwise glabrous; ligule membranaceous-ciliate, brown, 1 to 2 mm. long; blades flat, firm, 6 to 12 cm. long, 0.8 to 1.5 em. wide, lanceolate, acuminate, narrowed to the base, glabrous on the upper surface, puberulent beneath, the margins scabrous; panicles ovoid, terminating the numerous branches, exserted or partly included, rather open, 5 to 10 ecm. long, usually - half to three-fourths as wide, the branches few, spreading, finally reflexed, branching or flowering from near the base, usually bearing 5 to 10 short- pediceled spikelets; spikelets about 4 mm. long, obovoid and purplish black at maturity, the glumes and sterile lemma as well as the fruit with a lanate tuft at the tips. ’ ‘ype in the U. S. National Herbarium, nos. 865564 and 865565 (both speci- mens from the same individual), collected among bushes along stream, St. Anns, near Port of Spain, Trinidad, November 28, 1912, by A. S. Hitchcock (no. 10007). In habit this species resembles L. divaricata, from which it differs in the long ligule, the puberulent under surface of the blades, and the arcuate or nearly straight, not zigzag branchlets. Panicum divaricatum var. puberulum was described from Trinidad, the type collected by Crueger. This species was collected at Bahia by Salzmann and distributed as Panicum fruticosum Salzm. This name was mentioned by Steudel? as a synonym under Panicum praegnans, a different species from Oaxaca, and under Panicum latifolium by Deell*® as a synonym.

More robust than any other species, freely branching, with numerous leafy dorsiventral shoots with broad blades, velvety or glabrous beneath, glabrous or scabrous above, the sheaths glabrous or nearly so, the scarcely exserted, oblong or club-shaped panicles usually compactly flowered. In all the Trinidad specimens the spikelets contain a second sterile lemma, a character not found in any other species known to as. This second sterile lemma equals the first, contains a hyaline palea, and infolds the fruit rather more closely than the sterile lemma commonly does in other species. The fruit borne one joint higher on the rachilla consequently faces in the direction opposite to the one usual in Paniceae; that is, the palea side of the fruit faces the second instead of the first glume. Climbing over bushes, Cuba, Jamaica (Bluefields), Trinidad, and Mexico (whence originally described) to northern South America. No locality is men- tioned in the original description of P. compactum, but the specimen in the Swartz Herbarium is labeled Jamaica. 39. SACCI@LEPIS Nash.

This species is exceedingly variable in size, pubescence, length of racemes, and length of awns, and ap- parently intergrades with O. setarius. The sheaths vary from glabrous to conspicuously hirsute. Grisebach’* refers the form with glabrous sheaths to Orthopogon loliaceous Spreng. (Oplismenus loliaceus (Lam.) Beauy.), an Asiatic species. A variegated form has sometimes escaped from cultivation (Guadeloupe, Duss 3155. Martinique, Duss 13825. Dominica, Jones 37). Moist woods and shady banks, Mexico and throughout the West Indies to South America. The type specimen was from Jamaica. Orthopogon cubensis was described from Cuba.

A weak-stemmed annual, geniculate at base, with thin scabrous blades and narrow panicles of numerous pale racemes. In small specimens the plaiting of the blades is sometimes obscure. A weed in open and waste ground from the West Indies to Brazil, introduced, a native of the tropics of Asia. Originally described from Mauritius. Panicum costatum was described from India, P. viaticum from Brazil. Grisebach* mis- applies the name P. fiavescens Swartz (a synonym of P. fasciculatum Swartz) to this species. Called ‘‘ Mary grass” in Tobago. Jamaica, Haiti, Porto Rico, Antigua, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Grenada, Barbados, Trinidad, and Tobago. 2. Chaetochloa suleata (Aubl.)

Originally described from India. /The varietal name ascribed by Grisebach to Kunth was probably a herbarium name. It is not found in any of Kunth’s works so far as we know. The namé Panicum plicatum Lam. has been applied to this species by many authors. P. palmifolium Willd. being based upon P. plicatum as described by Willdenow.*? Panicum / palmaefolium Koen. an earlier nomen nudum, is probably the same species. # in Tobago this grass is called “ gamalote.” Like Chaetochloa sulcata it is a weed in cacao groves.

Ind. 555. 1864. Pennisetum swartzii F. Muell. Fragm. 8: 110. 1873. A slender, wiry, sparingly branching, tufted perennial, the culms and sheaths compressed ; blades mostly not over 20 cm. long, pubescent or scabrous; panicles pale, tapering to a slender summit, the branches erect, ascending, or sometimes divergent, the lower commonly 1 to 1.5 cm. long, sometimes as much as 8 cm. long, somewhat remote. One form of this species is more wiry, rigid or woody at base, often decumbent and rooting at the nodes, the branches erect or ‘divergent, the panicles open, with distant slender often reflexed branches. This is found on dry brushy hillsides under more xerophytic conditions. Numerous intermediate specimens connect this form with typical C. setosa. This form was described as Panicum brachiatum, P. paractenioides, and P. dumetorum, the first from the Antilles, the second from Crab Island (Vieques), the third from Santo Domingo. The following Porto Rican specimens represent this form: Britton &€ Wheeler 233, from Culebra; Chase 6519, 6536, from Guanica; Hess 426, from Desecheo; also Hitchcock 9315, from Kingston, Jamaica. Dry or rocky woods, West Indies to Brazil. Originally described from Ja- maica. Panicum caudatum was described from Brazil and Cayenne. The type of Setaria elongata (and of Panicum restitutum) is from Santo Domingo, col- lected by Bertero. Through the courtesy of Dr. Urban we have been able to examine the specimen in the Willdenow Herbarium (no. 18818) mentioned by Nees as “ Panicum onurus Willd. Herb.” ,This specimen is Chaetochloa setosa (Swartz) Scribn. and is not the species described by Grisebach* and others as Setaria onurus. Nees’s description of Panicum setosum Swartz var. 6, under which Panicum onurus Willd. Herb. is cited as a synonym, is based upon the second specimen cited, namely, one collected in Monte Video by Sellow. The Sellow specimen is Setaria onurus as understood by Grisebach (see no. 7). Richard 2 deseribed C. setosa as Setaria macrostachya. Bahamas (Water Cay), Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Santo Domingo, Porto Rico, St. Thomas, St. Jan, St. Croix, Guadeloupe, and Trinidad. 5. Chaetochloa rariflora (Mikan). Setaria rarifiora Mikan; Trin, in Spreng. Neu. Entd. 2: 78. 1821. More slender than the preceding, the blades averaging longer and narrower, the spikelike panicle very slender, the short branches appressed, the lower rather distant. ; Sterile brushy hills, West Indies to Brazil, whence originally described. This species has usually been referred to Setaria caudata (Lam.) Roem. & peli the type of which, however, belongs to Chaetochloa setosa. Porto Rico (Boqueron), St. Thomas, St. Croix, Antigua, and St. Vincent. 4 Fd yi —o 6. Chaetochloa enusas (Willd.) Scribn. & Merr. U. S. Dept. Agr. Div. Agrost. Bull. 21: 27. 1900.

Tufted, erect, commonly 1 meter tall, the culms and sheaths compressed, the numerous elongate blades mostly 0.8 to 1.2 em. wide, usually reaching beyond the base of the rather loose panicle of large globose spikelets and long flexuous bristles. Savannas, rocky banks, and open woods, West Indies to Uruguay. Originally described from Montevideo. Panicum onurus was first mentioned by Nees* as a synonym under P. setosum var. B “(P. onurus, Willd. Herb.—ex Humboldtianis)”. Nees gives as the “‘habitat” of 8 the following: “in regno Mexicano (ab Humb.— Vidi in Herb. Willd. In Monte Video. (Sellow.) (Vidi in Herb. Reg. Berol.)” The Willdenow specimen is Chaetochloa setosa, but the Sellow specimen belongs to the species later described by Trinius as Panicum onurus. Although Trinius, in the work cited above, credits the name to Willdenow (“Panicum onurus Willd. hb.”), he describes the Sellow specimen instead of the Willdenow speci- men. The name Panicum onurus was first technically published by Trinius. We take the Sellow specimen from Montevideo as the type, this being the one described, rather than the Willdenow specimen which Trinius did not see, though, following Nees, he supposed the. two specimens to belong to the same species.

The bristles vary in length and color. Early in the season they are longer than the spikelets, but on later spikes they may be shorter than the spikelets. Open ground and waste places, eastern United States through Mexico and the West Indies to Argentina. An excellent pasture grass. Originally de- seribed from Guadeloupe. The type locality of Setaria ventenetii is Porto Rico, of Panicum penicillatum, Brazil. Poiret gives North America and Brazil as the source of Panicum imberbe. Richard’ refers this species to Setaria flava Kunth. Called in Cuba ‘“‘rabo de gato,” “ guisasillo,” and ‘‘ hierba de venado.” Common throughout the West Indies. 10.

Similar to the preceding, erect or ascending, the leaves more aggregated at the. base, the panicle branches longer. Open rocky soil, Mexico; also in the Bahamas. Originally described from the Valley of Mexico. Sporobolus bahamensis was described from Acklin Island, Hggers 3905 being the type. The author distinguishes the species by its monandreus florets, but we find only one stamen in any of the specimens examined of S. atrovirens from Mexico, including those of the type collection made by Humboldt. In the West Indies found only on Acklin Island. 5. Sporobolus domingensis (Trin.) Kunth, Enum. Pl. 1: 214. 1838. Vilfa domingensis Trin. in Spreng. Neu.

Spikelets 2-flowered, the first perfect, the second neuter and much reduced; glumes thin, unequal, 1-nerved, acuminate, shorter than the floret; first floret stipitate, the lemma firm, minutely 2-toothed at the apex, 3-nerved, the mid- nerve produced into a delicate awn; palea slightly shorter than the lemma, acute, sulcate between the nerves; second floret reduced to a minute glume on an elongate slender rachilla joint. Cespitose perennial with slender wiry branching culms, filiform blades, and solitary, delicate few=ftowered spikes, the spikelets subsessile, contiguous but scarcely imbricate along one side of a slender continuous rachis, closely appressed to it. Type and only known species, Saugetia fasciculata. Saugetia we judge to be most nearly related to Gymnopogon and the South American Monochaete, from both of which it differs in having .a solitary terminal spike. It differs further from Gymnopogon in having but a single rudimentary floret and from Monochaete in the stipitate fertile floret and in the presence of a sterile floret. It gives us great pleasure to name this striking genus for Brother Leon, Joseph Sylvestre Sauget, who has contributed greatly to our knowledge of the grasses of Cuba. 1. Saugetia fasciculata sp. nov. Plants perennial in dense hard tufts, glabrous throughout; culms slender, hard and wiry, 40 to 50 cm. tall, erect or the summit leaning, the internodes elongate, branching at most of the nodes, the branches mostly fascicled, com- monly one of them elongate, the others reduced to leafy shoots of overlapping sheaths and short spreading blades, these branchlets forming conspicuous tufts along the main culms and branches; sheaths 5 to 8 mm. jong, with broad papery margins, a tuft of delicate white hairs 1 mm. long at the summit, these wanting on old sheaths, the sheaths of the branchlets reduced; ligule obsolete; blades filiform, crescent-shaped in cross section, scarcely 0.5 mm. wide when flattened out, flexuous, the primary blades as much as 10 ecm. long, those of the branchlets 1 to 3 cm. long; spikes jong-exserted, erect, 3 to 5 em. long, the rachis subfiliform, slightly concavo- convex, the spikelets fitting into the con- cavities; spikelets distant by about their own length to half their length, 3.6 to 3.8 mm. long excluding the awn; glumes lanceolate-subulate, the first 0.7 to 0.8 mm. long, the second 2 to 2.5 mm. long; floret stipitate, the stipe 0.5 mm. long, bearded with erect hairs 0.4 to 0.56 mm. long; lemma 3.2 mm. long (ex- cluding the awn), about 0.4 mm. wide, glabrous, the lateral nerves near the margin, the midnerve becoming strong toward the summit and produced into a delicate flexuous erect, minutely scabrous awn 12 to 16 mm. long; palea minutely scabrous on the nerves; second fioret reduced to a narrow pointed 1-nerved lemma about 1.2 mm. long, the slender glabrous erect rachilla joint 1.8 mm. long. Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 950204, collected in a small wood, Savana San Julian, south of Guane, Province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, December 28, 1916, by Brother Leon (no. 6901). A fragmentary specimen of this peculiar grass was collected by Wright “in small skirts of woods bordering the Savana San Juli4n” in 1865 (no. 3894) and was listed in Sauvalle’s Flora Cubana* without description as “ Muhlen- bergia spicata Munn,” and by Hitchcock? as an unidentified Specimen.

Brother Leén at our request kindly visited the locality and sent us a specimen of this apparently very rare species. His letter in regard to this collection is of interest: “I visited the Savana San Julian in company with Father Modesto Roca of Guanabacoa. The first two days I did not see any kind of Bouteloua | from the broken Wright specimen we had guessed it to be a species of that s genus |, not knowing on what border of the savanna were the skirts of woods, and the savanna has a circuit of 40 to 50 kilometers. At last * * * we went to a small wood (Cayo Gabino) on the northeastern border of the hacienda [of Senor D. J. M. Lamas] and there I saw a tufted grass which I supposed might be the long lost species of Wright, though at first sight it called to my mind the idea of a small Arthrostylidium, having some resemblance to my no, 48538 [Arthrostylidium capillifolium]. I noted with pleasure that it agreed exactly with your description. Unluckily there remained very few flowers. I entered the wood at different places all around but could not find more of it.” It is noteworthy that in his field notes Wright called his no. 8894 “Arthrostylidium.” 81.

Arid open ground, Haiti (Gonaives, Buch 1910) and Porto Rico (red soil plain, Salinas de Guanica, Brition, Cowell € Brown 4918). Originally de- scribed from Hispaniola. Hutriana ledebouri was deseribed from “ Domingo ” (though the type specimen, collected by’ Poiteau, is labeled “ Hayti”). Grif- fiths* applies Desvaux’s specific name to a Mexican species, Bouteloua triana (Trin.) Scribn., basing his judgment on Beauvois’s crude illustration, and lists Eutriana ledebouri under species excluded from Bouteloua. Until recently collected by Buch in Haiti and by Britton, Cowell, and Brown in Porto Rico this species was known only from the collections described by Desvaux and by Trinius. The Mexican B. triana, with its spikes of a single spikelet, was apparently the only species to which Beauvois’s figure could apply, though the description states that the lemma of the fertile floret is minutely trifid and the figure shows such a lemma. In the Mexican species the lemma is entire, while in Buch’s specimen from Haiti the lemma is trifid. Pilger’? applies the name “ Bouteloua americana (Desv.) Pilger” to Buch’s collection, basing the name on “Triathera americana Desv., excluding synonymy.’ Desvaux* described the genus Triathera with a single species, 7. americana, based on “Aristida americana Sw.” (the same as A. americana L., as is shown clearly by Swartz’s illustration; * that is, Bouteloua americana). Desvaux mentioned no specimen of his own, but later ® he emended the generic description, accepting the specific name “ juncea,’ as published under his authorship the previous year by Beauvois, and added ‘“ Habitat in Hispaniola.” 8.

Open ground and waste places, warmer regions of both hemispheres. A native of the Old World. Originally described from India. Poa pluwmosa was described from the East Indies. Cuba, Jamaica (Hope Gardens), Porto Rico (Pastillo Springs), St. Jan, St. Kitts, Montserrat, Guadeloupe; Martinique, St. Vincent, Grenada, Trinidad, and Tobago. 2. Eragrostis ciliaris (L.) Link, Hort. Berol. 1: 192. 1827. Poa ciliaris L. Syst. Nat. ed. 10. 2: 875. 1759. Differs from the preceding in the dense narrow panicles, interrupted below, and in the larger crowded subsessile spikelets. ‘The inflorescence of this species varies from the rather dense cylindrical panicle with short branches flowered to the base (the typical form) to one with stiffly ascending branches naked at base (such as Curtiss 76, Nassau, Bahamas) and to that with a lax panicle (#. ciliaris laxa). A form apparently confined to the Bahamas has a nearly simple panicle with elongate spikelets having (in the most extreme specimen, Wilson 7608, Caicos Islands) as many as 18 florets. This may represent a distinct Species, but no other differentiating character appears to be correlated with the long spikelets. Another possibly distinct form is represented by Shafer 2751 (Cayo Paredon Grande, Camaguey, Cuba), with delicate culms 20 to 30 cm. long, blades not over 1 mm. wide, and open, relatively few-flowered panicles.

Known only from the original collections from the summit of Morne d’Amour, Martinique (Duss 5638, 1810). 108. CHUSQUEA Kunth. Spikelets small, with 1 perfect floret and 2 empty lemmas below it, the rachilla articulate below the glumes, the spikelets in small terminal panicles; blades disarticulating from the persistent sheaths. 1. Chusquea abietifolia Griseb. Fl. Brit. W. Ind. 529. 1864. Arundinaria? microclade Pilger in Urban, Symb. Antill. 5: 289. 1907. Crawling and climbing to a height of 7 meters or more, the slender culms festooning and forming an entanglement across mountain trails; branchlets about 10 cm. long, in whorls, the numerous rigid, spine-tipped, scabrous-margined blades 2 to 38 cm. long, drying glaucous; flowering branches leafy at base, terminating in a small few-flowered, nearly simple panicle, the spikelets short- pediceled; very rarely flowering. Wet woods, Blue Mountains, Jamaica, Porto Rico (Monte Alegrillo), and Haiti (Monte Furey). Originally described from Jamaica, common in the Blue Mountains above 1,000 meters. The specimens from Cold Spring Gap collected by Harris (Amer. Gr. Nat. Herb. 400*) and by Hitchcock (no. 9734) are fertile; the others are sterile. Arundinaria microclada was described from sterile specimens collected at 1,500 meters altitude, in open woods on Monte Furey, Haiti (Picarda 270, Buch 930). The Picarda specimen in the Krug & Urban Herbarium is about a meter long, apparently the pendent end of a culm, the short branchlets and small blades (12 to 15 mm. long) suggesting a dry situation. The sheaths are minutely pubescent as in the Porto Rico specimens; in Jamaica specimens the sheaths are pubescent on the margin only. 109. PLANOTIA Munro.

Called in Cuba “ cafia brava.” : BAMBOS NANA Roxb. (Fl. Ind. 2: 199, 1832), 2 to 3 meters tall, has spread from cultivation at Cinchona, Jamaica. DOUBTFUL SPECIES. In the following list are given the names of species described from the West Indies, for which we have not been able to account: Aira gigantea Steud. Syn. Pl. Glum. 1: 224. 1854. Described from a specimen 5 in the herbarium of Mougeot, said to be very likely from the Antilles. ans Anatherum berterianum Spreng.; Schult. Mant. 2: 448. 1824. ‘In Portorico ate tip et Guadeloupe.” Has been referred to Imperata, but the description does not well apply. Anatherum pedunculosum Desv. Opuse. 70. 1831. ‘“Antillis.” Possibly An- dropogon condensatus. Avena lutea L. f. Suppl. Pl. 112. 1781. Trisetwm luteum Pers. Syn. Pl. 1: 97. 1805. ‘‘ Martinique.” The description does not apply to any species known from the West Indies. Cenchrus hirsutus Spreng. Neu. Entd. 3: 15. 1822. ‘ Hispaniola.” The de- scription does not agree with any species known to us from the West Indies. Cenchrus parviflorus Poir. in Lam. Encycl. 6: 52. 1804. Described from Porto Rico. Probably Chaetochloa geniculata, but the description does not well apply. Chaetochloa corrugata parviflora Scribn. & Merr. U. 8. Dept. Agr. Div. Agrost. Bull. 21: 24. 1900. Based on Cenchrus parvifiorus Poir. The species to which this name is applied is Chaetochloa geniculata. Chondrachyrum scabrum Nees; Steud. Syn. Pl. Glum. 1: 288. 1854. Described from “ Ind. Occ.” but the locality possibly erroneous. The description suggests Melica, which is not known from the West Indies. Digitaria (?) domingensis Roem. & Schult. Syst. Veg. 2: 475. 1817, based on Panicum domingense Zuccagni. 402 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. Digitaria repens Kunth, Enum. Pl. 1: 84. 1833, as synonym of Panicum domingense Zuccagni. Echinochioa cubensis Schult. Mant. 2: 596. 1824. Probably Oplismenus hir- tellus. We have not been able to verify this citation. Festuca thouini Steud. Syn. Pl. Glum. 1: 311. 1854. Possibly Arundo donaz or Phragmites or a cultivated species of Cortaderia. >-« Holcus cubanicus Gleditsch; Schult. Mant. 2: 462. 1824, nomen nudum. Panicum confertum Desv.; Poir. in Lam. Encycl.

Glum. 1: 76. 1854. ‘Ind. oce.” The description does not apply to any species we know from the West Indies. Paspalum guadaloupense Steud. Syn. Pl. Glum. 1: 18. 1854. ‘“‘ Guadaloupe.” The description points to Aronopus compressus, but Grisebach®* refers it to Pas- palum conjugatum var. subcordatum Griseb., of which it is the basis. Paspalum koleopodium Steud. Syn. Pl. Glum. 1: 18. 1854. ‘“‘ Guadaloupe.” Grisebach refers this to P. caespitosum, but the description does not well agree with that species. Paspalum lagascae Roem. & Schult. Syst. Veg. 2: 317. 1817. Based on P. pu- bescens Lag. - Paspalum molle Poir. in Lam. Encycl. 5: 34. 1804. “St. Thomas.” Paspalum panicum Smith in Rees’s Cycl. 26: no. 14. 1813. ‘‘ Jamaica.” The description suggests P. densum. Paspalum pubescens Lag. Gen. & Sp.

Glum. 1: i7. 1854. “ Guadaloupe.” A species with a decumbent base rooting at the nodes. Nash? refers it to P. orbiculatum, but the description does not well agree with that species nor does it agree with P. reptatum. The species may be P. nutans. : Paspalum sinuosum Desv. Opuse. 57. 1831. ‘“Antillis.’” Nash* refers this to P. glabrum. Paspalum strictum Pers. Syn. Pl. 1: 86. 1805. “Insul. Antill. et ad St. Domingo.” Nash * refers this to P. paniculatum. Piptatherum setosum A. Rich. in Sagra, Hist. Cuba 11: 311. 1850. Referred by Grisebach ® to Andropogon setosus (Sorghastrum parvifiorum). The descrip- tion does not well apply to the latter species. Reimaria diffusa Spreng. Neu. Entd. 3: 1 822. ‘“‘ Martinica.” Unidenti- ~° fiable, description probably erroneous. = Plagr ten torrie Setaria ocreata Spreng. Syst.
