CYPERACEJE. 
(Mr. C. B. CLARKE.) 
Kyllinga chrysantha, A. Schum. VICTORIA NYANZA. — From swampy ground 
close to harbour, Bukoba, April 26. No. 60. 
Previously recorded only from German East Africa and the Shiré High- 
lands (near Zomba). 
К. Buchanani, C. В. Clarke. LAKE TANGANYIKA.—Swampy ground, Kibwesi, 
Edith Bay, Dec. 20. No. 39. This specimen differs from all the 
K. Buchanani known to me, in having two spikes to the head, not one, 
and in having the nut narrowly linear-oblong. There are several 
admitted species very close. 
Nyasaland, and also in South Africa. 
Pycreus Mundtii, Nees. Lare Nyasa.—From swamp, Kambwe Lagoon, 
June 27. No.14. Lake TANGanyika.—From swamp, Kituta, Aug. 24. 
No. 27. 
Frequent from Algiers to the Cape of Good Hope. 
Juncellus levigatus, C. В. Clarke. LAKE TANGANYIKA.—Swamp by river 
mouth, Kirando, Dec. 1. No. 36. 
Widely distributed in Tropical Africa, and found in all warm and temperate 
regions. 
Fuirena glomerata, Гат. LAKE TANGANYIKA.—Swamp by river mouth, 
Kirando, Dec. 1. No. 37. 
Widely distributed in Tropical Africa, and in the warm parts of the Old 
World. 
Fimbristylis stolonifera, C. B. Clarke, var. africana, var. nov. ; bractea inferiore 
9 mm. longa ; nucis humeris a squamis rotundis minutis verrucosis. 
VICTORIA NyanzA.—From swampy ground close to harbour, Bukoba, 
April 26. No. 61. 
А remarkable find as the species is known only from India and Yunnan. 
There are only two species of Fimbristylis (out of about 120) that have a 
creeping root. As regards the squamelle on the shoulders of the nut 
(which are not present in the Indian F. stolonifera) I esteem them of 
small importance ; for in the closely allied F. diphylla, Vahl, nuts with- 
out and with such squamellze are abundant.
