OPLISM ENUS Beauvois

POSITUS (L.) Beauv.
F.-Villar reduced Orthopogon setarius Llanos to Oplismtmus
burmcmnii Beauv,, but the description applies rather better to
the much commoner O. compositus Beauv., where I think
it should be placed. Llanos was correct in his interpretation
of Orthopogon hirtellus R. Br., which is, however, a synonym of
Oplismenus compositus Beauv. It was reduced by Fernandcz-
Villar to Pamcum lanceolatum Retz., which is also a synonym of
Oplismenus compositus Beauv. It is common and widely dis-
tributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes.
