CYPERACE^ OF THE PHILIPPINES: A LIST OF THE 
SPECIES IN THE KEW HERBARIUM. 
By C. B. CuvHKE/ 
[KeWj E)ifjla)\d.) 
Tlie present list contaijis oiilj tlio species in tlie Kew Herbarium and 
not quite all of these. I have added some of the more important 
sjnonomy relating to the Philippines and adjacent lands. The short 
notes on the genera and species are not given as sufficient diagnoses^ 
but are intended to be useful to a.«sist collectors in the field. 
r 
The present list is not therefore complete in any respect for Philippine 
Cyperacece, which perha])s is of minor importance when so many species 
and localities are being constantly added. The list will have the merit 
that each species stands on plants examined, though the various species 
may not invariably have been determined correctly.
