Holcus sâccharatus Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) 47; ed. 2 (1845) 32 (sacha-
ratvœ) ; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 58, non Linn,=Holcus sorghum Linn.=
ANDROPOGON SORGHUM Brot. var. VULGARIS (Pers.) Hack.
The form described by Blanco is apparently very near the
typical Holcué sorghum Linn., which supplies the earliest valid
generic and specific name; in fact Holcus has been recently
adopted by Hitchcock as the proper generic designation of those
species of Andropogon that were placed by Hackel in the sub-
genus Sorghum. This form is the commonest one found in
cultivation in the Philippines and is in scattered cultivation
throughout the Archipelago. Its generally used native name is
batâd, and the species is probably of prehistoric introduction
in the Archipelago,
