‘he four specimens quoted above, all tallest by Dr. Kerr on 
Doi Sootep, illustrate remarkably well the polymorphic nature of 
this species. No. 1181 is a tall plant growing to a height of 
10 dem., with long ee and slightly hairy leaves and glabrous 
inflorescence. 896 is a medium-sized plant with shorter 
obtuse broad (3 mm. broad) leaves. No. 2239b is a very small 
and slender plant, about 12 em. high, with very narrow leaves 
(0°5 mm. broad), No. 2649 is a tall tka growing to a height of 
9 dem., with the stem and inflorescence distinctly hairy and the 
fave (blades and sheaths) densely white pubescent. This last 
plant is evidently Fimbristylis tomentosa, Vahl which C. B. Clarke 
considered only a form of F. diphylia, Vahl. All the above plants 
have the characteristic longitudinally-ribbed nut of F. diphylla.
