CYPERACEZA. 4538 
This species is only recorded from extratropical South America and the island of 
Juan Fernandez by Beeckeler and Clarke.

In addition to the foregoing Cyperi there are several species described by Liebmann 
in his ‘ Mexicos Halvgres,’ pp. 40-43, under Mariscus; but, as we have no means of 
comparing them, we forbear giving them names under Cyperus. They are :—WMariscus 
astrosanguineus, Liebm. ; M. asper, Liebm. ; VM. tribachiatus, Liebm. ; UM. pallens, Liebm. ; 
and M. ambiguus, Liebm. 
2. KYLLINGA. 
Kyllinga, Rottb. Desc. et Ic. Pl. p. 12, t. 4; Benth. et Hook. Gen. Plant. iii. p. 1045 (Kyllingia, 
auct. plur.). 
Upwards of fifty species have been proposed and described. but Bentham and Hooker 
estimate that there are scarcely more than twenty distinct ones. They are generally 
dispersed in warm countries. The Mexican and Central-American species need 
revision; but we think that there are not more than four altogether. 
1. Kyllinga brevifolia, Rottb. Descr. et Ic. p. 18, t. 4. fig. 3; Boeck. in 
Linnea, xxxv. p. 424. 
As limited by Beeckeler, this has a very wide range both in America and the Old 
World; he records it from Mexico, and Hayes’s Panama 300 is probably this 
species. |

ex Beeck. in Linnea, xxxv. p. 411 (varietates); Liebm. Mexicos Halvgr. p. 45.
