Panicum palmifolium, Willd. (P. plicatum of authors, not Lam.). Palm-grass. Fig. 2747. Resembles the preceding, but lvs. broader and nearly smooth, the panicle larger and more bristly: spike-lets similar. G. 3:101. Gn. 12, p. 517; 31, p. 487; 37,p.245. R.H. 1862, p.290. —A variegated form is figured in F.S. 17:1743—44 under the name P. foliis niveo-vittalis. Cult, in the S. for ornament. Native of E. Indies. Woolson, of Passaic, N. J., says it grows 4-6 ft. high in the hardy border and makes a fine, stately grass; useful for winter bouquets. This grass is known in the trade as P. plicatum or less commonly as P. excurrens, but the real P. plicatum, Lam., through an allied species, is a smaller, narrower-lvd. plant of no particular beauty and unknown in cult. The true P. excurrens - P. pilacatum, Lam. CH
