 BoecJc. in Linncea, xxxv. p. 485 partim. 



Stylus 2-fidus ; rami lineares. Nux compressa, fades rhachillse 

 adpressa. Spiculse multi-(10-60-)florse, persistentes. Bhachillae 

 alse angusta?, persistentes. Filamenta 3-1 ; antherse cristatse 

 ant muticse. Glabrae, foliaceae. Inflorescentia varia. 



This is Bentham's Juncellus without Anosporum. Boeckeler 

 has included in his Pseudopycreus, Cyperus stoloniferus, which 

 with me has a 3-fid style ; and he has put C. pygmceus in Fucy- 

 psrus, Sect. Aristati, an arrangement to which he must have been 

 led by the inflorescence ; but which seems to me very unnatural, 

 and opposed to his definition of the group. The species here in- 

 cluded in Juncellus exhibit great variety in habit and inflorescence, 

 but they are at all events easily discerned by the nut. The con- 

 fusion I have got into about C. diaphanus is because the type 

 specimen has the nut exceedingly young ; and without comparison 

 I am not sure that my ripe Calcutta G. diaphanus is the same 

 species.
