Cyperaceae (praeter Caricinas) Chilenses. 
Auctore 
C. B. Clarke. 
In Enerer Bot. Jahrb. v. 27 (1899) p. 485—563, there is a paper 
by Groma KurkewrHAL on the Carex (including Uncinia) of Chile and Ar- 
gentina; Argentina only adds 4 species to the Carex of Chile. 
About 8 months ago, Dr. J. PmiLrPPI wrote to me requesting me to 
publish a similar paper on the remainder of the Cyperaceae of Chile. He 
wished a revision of all the Chile Cyperaceae to be published before 
Dr. Heteng describes that Order in the new Flora of Chile. 
The present paper is what I have been able to produce in reply to 
Dr. J. PuirirePr.— It is not quite similar to the paper of Pastor KUEKEN- 
THAL. It does not include the Argentine Cyperaceae which are numerous; 
| possess neither the collections nor the paper of Dr. Kurtz, so that I 
could not deal at all completely with the Argentine species. 
Dr. Reiche has sent me authentic specimens, sometimes only fragmen- 
tary, of nearly all the new species lately described by Dr. Int, The 
present paper is compiled by extracting, from my mss on Cyperaceae, the 
Chile species; then verifying and correcting these by comparison with Dr. 
Dn mere types. 
As regards some species formerly described by Dr. neet, I have 
neither the descriptions nor any specimens. Also, as regard several new 
species of which I have received only fragments, I prefer to treat these as 
forms of old species rather than to describe very critical species on slender 
material. 
The area here included in Chile is that in the Atlas to C. Gav's Chile: 
which does not exactly define the present political boundary. Several of 
the localities cited below I can find in no map; they are merely copied 
from the field-ticket, the writing of which I may not have always decip- 
hered correctly. 
The literature of the subject is mainly the Cyperaceae by Desvaux 
(in Craupe Gay, Historia de Chile, Botanica v. 6 Paris 1853), supplemented 
by the numerous papers of Dr. Pop in Linnaea and in the Anales de 
à
