fasciculatis; spiculis 45 mm longis, 2,5 mm latis, 20-floris, saturate rufo- 
atris; glumis proventu a basi spiculae sensim deciduis; stylo 3-fido; nuce 
cum 2/ parte glumae subaequilonga. — Mariscus saturatus Donnell Smith 
Pl. Guat. v. 5 (1896), p. 89.

Costa Rica (DowwELL Sum n. 6839). — Peru: Dep. Huanaco Prov. 
Huamalies inter Monzon et Huallayon in arboretis apertis ad flumen Monzon 
(WEBERBAUER n. 3875). 
These good specimens of WEBERBAUER shew conclusively that the plant is a 
Cyperus (not a Mariscus); and that it is close to C. miliifolius Knuth. 
Rynchospora Weberbaueri C. B. Clarke n. sp.; glabra, mediocris, 
panicula anguste oblonga, polystachya interrupta; corymbis densis; spiculis

obscure 2-dentato; setis hypogynis 4, bruneis, minute dense scabris, nucem 
cum rostro superantibus; nuce oblonga, brunea, obscure transversim fene- 
strata; rostro lineari-conico, cum nuce aequilongo. 
Culmi 3—4 dm longi, parce foliati. Folia basalia 40—45 cm longa, 3—4 mm 
lata, duriuscula. Panicula interdum 45 cm longa, 2—3 cm lata; panicula partiali ima 
8 cm distante, terminalibus 3—4 approximatis. — Species ad gregem K. polyphyllae 
accedens.

Septembri.) 
I have many Andine species, some published some not, more or less allied to 
this. The inflorescence in this resembles that of the group Psilocaryae (in which the 
setae are 0). This species may be near some of the varieties of R. Ruixiana, but the 
inflorescence will not match.
