[9] _Agropyron cristatum_ and _A. desertorum_ are part of
a complex that includes several other species.
[10] Not listed in Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[11] A complex.
[12] _Bothriochloa intermedia_ (R. Brown) A. Camus (a
complex) of Harlan & Celerier, Okla. Tech. Bul. T-72.
[13] _Bothriochloa ischaemum_ (L.) Keng. var. _ischaemum_
of Harlan & Celerier, Okla. Tech. Bul. T-72.
[14] Not listed in Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[15] A complex, including _B. californicus_ Nutt. ex
Buckl., _B. marginatus_ Nees, _B. maritimus_ (Piper)
Hitchc., and _B. polyanthus_ Scribn.
[16] Includes _B. richardsoni_ Link.
[17] In written material in which _B. inermis_ is the only
_Bromus_ species discussed, its common name may be
shortened to brome.
[18] Not listed in Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[19] Not listed in Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[20] Spp. with stiff spreading spikes are called
windmillgrass.
[21] The name “fingergrass” applied to erect spp.
[22] Not listed in Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[23] The name _H. nodosum_ has generally been misapplied to
_H. brachyantherum_ in this country.
[24] The name “oniongrass” applied to those spp. with
bulblike stem bases.
[25] _M. foliosa_ is a name formerly applied to _M.
mexicana_. _M. mexicana_ was then misapplied to the
recently recognized _M. frondosa_ (Poir.) Fernald,
which it resembles.
[26] Considered to be a form of _M. richardsonis_ (Trin.)
Rydb., see 1951 ed. of Hitchcock’s manual, p. 382.
[27] Listed as _P. fluitans_ (Ell.) Kunth on p. 602 of
Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[28] Listed as _P. typhoides_, Stapf and Hubbard, page 74
USDA Handbook 170, “Grass varieties in the U.S.,”
June, 1965.
[29] Older name, now listed as _P. setaceum_, p. 729 in
Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[30] Included in _Tricholaena_ in some manuals.
[31] In some areas certain _Setaria_ spp. have been called
foxtail, but to avoid confusion, that common name
should be reserved to the genus _Alopecurus_.
[32] These three species are sometimes called foxtail.
[33] Listed as _S. glauca_ (L.) Beauv. in Gray’s Manual,
8th Ed. p. 226, and on p. 235, Vol. I, of the New

p. 234, and on p. 244 in Vol. I of the New Britton &
Brown, 1952.
[35] _Sorghum almum_ is not listed in Hitchcock’s 1951

it must have originated as a hybrid between _S.
halepense_ and some other sorghum.
[36] Listed on p. 530 of Hitchcock’s 1951 manual as _T.
crinita_ (Lag.) Parodi.
[37] _Z. pungens_ Willd. in some manuals.
