This publication was made possible with the aid of a faculty research grant. ’'Personal communication. Reprinted from Rhodora, Vol. 66, 767, 1964 NOTES ON PASPALUM MINUS AND ANDROPOGON PERTUSUS IN THE UNITED STATES1 — Hitchcock and Chase (1950) reported Paspalum minus Foum. to occur in “eastern Texas; Mexico to West Indies and Paraguay”. In 1962 I collected the species near Mobile, Alabama. The identification was verified by Thomas R. Söderström, U. S. National Herbarium. According to him,2 the only previous collections in the National Herbarium from the continental United States are “all from Texas (from near Fannett, Beaumont, and Anahuac)My collection data are as fol- lows : ALABAMA.

I collected Andropogowi pertusus (L.) Willd. (Bothrioch- lou pertum A. Camus) along the Keys Highway near Mara- thon, Florida in 1961. It was reported by Hitchcock and Chase (1950) as “A troublesome weed in lawns and pas- tures, State College Miss.; West Indies; introduced from the Old World.” J. R. Swallen,2 U. S. National Herbarium, identified my specimen and noted that it probably was ä new record from Florida. However, a check with Erdman West,2 University of Florida, revealed that the species had been collected “on a golf course in Miami on March 20, 1958, FLAS 66953.” According to Robert Godfrey,2 Florida State University, no specimens were in his herbarium (July, 1963). According to Thomas Söderström,2 there are sev- eral collections of the species from cultivation in the U. S. National Herbarium. It has been grown in experimental nurseries in Texas and Oklahoma. J.
