CYPERACE^ OF THE PHILIPPINES. 103 
Plant 1 m. high. Ijeaves very few, 2 to 7 cm. long, linoar, rigid. 
Spikelets with 3 or 4 short ovate glumes at the base, the upper one 
perfecting a nut, succeeded hy 10 or 13 oblong, much larger, remarkably 
distichous glumes. I detected in the ripe fruit no hypogynous setse. 
The species is very like Cladium undulatum Tliwaites, but the nut is 
smaller and the beak 0.
