MB. C. B. CLAEKE ON INDIAN SPECIES OF OYPEBUS. 93 



accepi ; quamvis nomenclatura Benthami cum Linnseo fortasse

[Scirpus hamulosus, Steven in Mem. Soc. Natur. Mosc. v. p. 356, 

 —Isolepis hamulosa, Kunth, Enum. li. p. 205, is reduced to Cyperus 

 aristatus by Boeckeler. It is (to me) clearly an Isolepis. But 

 besides this, the material is so very distinct specifically from 

 Cyperus aristatus (even if it be put in Cyperus), that I almost 

 doubt whether the Berlin herbarium cau have got the true plant.]
