Var. d. procerula ; culmo elongate- robustiore ; umbella expla- 

 nata, modo subsimplice modo composita ; spiculis laxe spicatis, 

 majusculis, acutis, sub-lineari-lanceolatis, rubescentibus aut pal- 

 lidis nee lucidis ; glumis laxiuscule (fructigeris vix) imbricatis ;

Cyperi proceruli, Nees, exemplum typicum (Wight n. 1829, 

 h. propr.), a manu Neesii nomine inscriptum, nucibus maturis 

 gaudens, mihi videtur omnino idem ac Wight n. 1830 h. propr., 

 exemplum Junius florigerum, a manu Neesii nomine C. Retzii 

 inscriptum. Inter hsec et G. rotundum typicum exempla plurima 

 sensim transeuntia videnda sunt. 



In exemplo typico C. procerulo, nuces maturae magnae, tri- 

 quetral, ideoque auctores C. procerulum cum C. compresso infauste 

 contulerant. 



In C. rotundo typico ut in C. Hydra (Anglice " Nut-grass ") 

 rhizomata pestifere reptante, nux rarius maturat. 



Madras Peninsula (Wight nn. 1829, 1830, h. Kew). 



Zeylania (Thwaites C. P. n. 3750, h. Kew). 



Var. e. laxata ; spiculis longis 18 mm. latis 3 mm., 10-14-floris, 

 compressis, rubris ; glumis majusculis, elongatis, sursum angus- 

 tatis, subdistantibus, florigeris patulis laxe vel vix imbricatis ; 

 rhachillae alis angustissimis, junioribus saltern uon solubilibus. 



Exemplum (nuce ignota) mihi sat dubium; an C. glabro 

 affinior ? — color autem spicularum distat.

 repente, lignoso ; culmis basi bulbosis, apice trigonis ; umbella 

 simplice ; spiculis breviter spicatis, subteretibus ; glumis spissis,
