Chase—Notes on Genera of Panicecg. IV. 129. Among North American species of Panicum two approach Brachiariaor Leucophrys, Panicum texanum. Buckl. and P. ciliatissimum Buckl.,in which the inflorescence is not strictly racemose, but in the first ofwhich the spikelets toward the ends of the branches are often in the reverseposition of those of Brachiaria, while in the second all the spikelets arein the reverse position. The rugose apiculate fruit of both also recall thefruit of Eriochloa and of one species of Brachiaria, B. meziana Hitchc,but the spikelets are not in one-sided racemes. 14. Genus AXONOPUS Beauv. Axonopus Beauv. Ess. Agrost. 12 and 154. 1812. A brief diagnosis isgiven and the following species cited as belonging to the genus: Miliumcompression [Axonopus compressus (Svvartz) Beauv.], digitatum [Syn-therisma digitata (Swartz) Hitchc], cimicinum[Panicum cimicinum (L.) Retz., Coridochtoacimi-cina (L.) Nees], paniceum [a species of Syn-therisma}. There is little in the diagnosis orobs
