Kwanatuna: Macao (ex Steudel). 
Not seen. This has the leaf-sheaths fringed in their mouths 
and on their margins with woolly hairs, and must be a very 
remarkable Cyperus, if of that genus. Unfortunately, as in so 
many other cases, the author does not mention those points of 
structure which define the genus of the plant; so that there 
remains a doubt whether he looked at these points, which doubt 
cools the interest that otherwise would attach to such a species.
