MATERIALS ‘FOR A FLORA OF FORMOSA. Olt 
tributed in the tropical and temperate regions of Eastern Asia. Some 
years ago, Mr. T. Kawakami sent me a specimen of a sedge which 
is known as the best material for the Taikomushiro, and is called 
by the name of Taik6-i (=Sedge of the Taikd-mat). Studying 
the specimen, I saw that the plant is quite the same as a Japa- 
nese sedge which is known to be identical with S. triqueter Liyn., 
although there are some small differences between them in point 
of inflorescence. The differences are not, however, of such charac- 
ters which botanically separate one from the other. While work- 
ing here at Kew, I have compared the present sedge with 
numerous specimens of the named species preserved here, and found 
that there is a form of the species with which my plant is 
exactly identical. I have, therefore, no further hesitation in referring 
the present plant to S. triqueter Lryn. It may be added, how- 
ever, that the Formosan plant is not of the same form as the 
Japanese, or as the type of the species, but is of a form peculiar 
to itself and to a few specimens at Kew.
