This is very distinct from the form considered as Panicum harhuJatum Michx. to-day, and is proposed below as a new species. PANICUM SUBBARBULATUM Scribn. & Merrill sp. nov. {Panicum barbulatum of Ell. Sk. Bot. S. C. and Ga. 1: 127. 1817, not Michx. Fl. Bor. Am. 1 : 49. 1803. An erect or ascending, glabrous, caespi- tose perennial, 4-9 dm. high, with small panicles, bearded nodes, and pubescent spikelets. Culms wiry, simple, or becoming branched above; nodes bearded with reflexed hairs; sheaths much shorter than the inter- nodes, ciliate on the margins; ligule a short ciliate ring; leaf-blades lan- ceolate, primary ones 5-6 cm. long, 5-8 mm. wide, spreading, the second- ary ones 3-4 cm. long, 3-5 mm. wide, naiTowed at the base, acute, scabrous on the margins, the nerves rather prominent. Panicles exserted, ovate, 4-7 cm. long, the branches ascending. Spikelets ovate, obtuse, 2 mm. long, pubescent; first glume about one- fourth as long as the spikelet. The type of the species in the herbarium of Elliott is well matched by the fol- lowing specimens: 3600a A. H. Cur- tiss, Sumpter County, Fla., margins of pine-barren ponds; 3388 S. M. Tracy, June 13, 1897, Morrisonville, Miss. This species is readily distinguished from Panicum barbulatum Michx., by its smaller size, smaller leaves, and panicles and larger pubescent spikelets.
