Clarke, C. B., New Genera and Species of Cyperaceae. (Kew 

 Bull. Mise. Inf. Additional Ser. VIII. p. 1—196. 1908.) 



Mr. C. B, Clarke had intended to complete a general monograph 

 of the Cyperaceae, but his death prevented its fulfilment. Though 

 largely accomplished the work had not been arranged for publica- 

 tion. As a few of the genera and a number of the species described 

 in the monograph have not been published, the diagnoses of all the 

 new genera and species proposed by him are here set out in füll 

 in accordance with the arrangement devised by Mr. Clarke, a ske- 

 leton of which is appended to the diagnoses. The following new 

 genera are described Phylloscirpus, with one species P. andesinus\ 

 Tetrariopsis with one species T. octandva {Elynanthiis octandrus, 

 Nees); Mapaniopsis with one species, M. ejfusa. The new species 

 under other genera are too numerous to be cited. A. W. Hill.
