Abstract

Panicum glutinoscabrum Fernald, P. olivaceum Hitch. & Chase, and P. thurowii Scribn. & J.G. Sm. are here transferred to Dichanthelium: Dichanthelium glutinoscabrum (Fernald) Wipff; Dichanthelium olivaceum (Hitchc. & Chase) Wipff; and Dichanthelium thurowii (Scribn. & J.G. Sm.) Wipff. A key to the species in the D. acuminatum complex is provided.
