The plate in Sloane is likewise not confirming, but the description of a Jamaican plant accom- panying the plate (p. Ill) would seem to fit best the plant described above. Reference will be made later in this discussion to a specimen labeled Aiidropogon barhatum in the Linnaean Herbarium. Linnaeus again described Andropogon bar- batum in 1760 (Amoen. Acad., p. 412), chang- ing and amplifying the description and drop- ping the reference to Sloane, citing instead "Brown, jam. ; The description again is not conclusive, but it would still appear to be the above-described species. In 1763 the above names, references, and descriptions were tied together (Sp. PL, ed. 2. 2; 1483); but the name of the plant was changed to Andropogon polijdactijlon, no reason being given for the change. There is no question of Linnaeus's intent, for he copied directly the description accompanying the 1759 publication of Andropogon barbatum and referred to Brown and Sloane, this time adding a direct reference to "p. Ill" of the latter work. Reference was also made to the Amoenitates (1760). In addition to the changes of names in the written descriptions, corroborative evidence is obtained from the Linnaean Herbarium, for there (in the Andropogon folder) is a specimen of the plant described above with three epithets written on it: "barbatum," "fasciculatum," and "; The first two names are both lined
