radii plures, usque ad 6 cm. longi, apice umbellulati, spiculis

Africa; late dispersa: Abyssinia (Schimper nn. 25, 312, 505, 

 574, 845, 1245, hk Kew, Mus. Brit. ; Bohr, k Kew ; Dillon 

 et Petit, h. Kew); Fernando Po (Mann n. 1470, h. Kew)-, 

 Natal (Buchanan nn. 50, 307, k Kew). 



30. C. ateoneevatus (Boeck. in Linncea, xxxv. p. 358); cum 

 elongato a vaginis foliorum alte intecto ; umbella subcapitata ; 

 glumis longis, viridibus, per totam fere latitudinem longitudi- 

 naliter atronervatis. 



Stamina 3. — Cypero Mundtii affinis. 



Abyssinia (Schimper nn. 1244, 1287, hk Kew, Mus. Brit.). 



31. C. cheysanthus (Boeck. in Linncea, xxxv. p. 476) ; um- 

 bella simplice ; spiculis breviter spicatis, lineari-oblongis, luteis

Africa australis (Brege, k Kew ; k Harvey n. 80, h. Kew) ; 

 Natal (Grant, h. Calcutta). 



C permutatus, Boeck. in Linnsea, xxxv. p. 476, which is C. Ian- 

 ceus y ? mucronatus, Kunth, is said by Boeckeler to differ in the 

 minute nut (not one fourth the length of the glume). So far as 

 my memory serves, I believe that I considered it = C. chrysanthus ; 

 but I have no note of it, and can verify nothing here.
