  sent 
  to 
  Kew, 
  whose 
  distinguished 
  specialist, 
  C. 
  B. 
  Clarke, 
  

   undertook 
  the 
  defining 
  tliein 
  and 
  very 
  promptly 
  accomplished 
  

   the 
  task. 
  All 
  those 
  in 
  this 
  country 
  who 
  take 
  an 
  interest 
  in 
  

   Cyperacecie 
  owe 
  a 
  dept 
  of 
  gratitude 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Clarke 
  for 
  the 
  

   valnable 
  help 
  he 
  has, 
  by 
  liis 
  critical 
  revision 
  of 
  these 
  mate 
  

   rials, 
  rendered 
  to 
  the 
  study 
  of 
  this 
  difficult 
  gronp 
  of 
  plants 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Clarke 
  has 
  distinguished 
  some 
  new 
  species 
  amongs 
  

   the 
  Regnellian 
  Cyperaceoe 
  but 
  noted 
  only 
  their 
  most 
  impor 
  

   tant 
  species-characteristics 
  and 
  nearest 
  affinity. 
  As, 
  more- 
  

   over, 
  several 
  older 
  species 
  are 
  rarities, 
  known 
  only 
  by 
  the 
  

   specimen 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  species 
  was 
  grounded 
  by 
  its 
  anthor, 
  

   and 
  as 
  the 
  collection 
  in 
  its 
  entiret}- 
  fnrnishes 
  information 
  

   about 
  a 
  numl^er 
  of 
  new 
  habitats, 
  an 
  enumeration 
  of 
  these 
  

   collections, 
  as 
  named 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Clarke, 
  must 
  be 
  of 
  great 
  value. 
  

   At 
  my 
  request 
  he 
  has 
  commissioned 
  me 
  to 
  describe 
  and 
  illu- 
  

   strate 
  the 
  new 
  species 
  and 
  forms, 
  and, 
  amongst 
  them, 
  some 
  

   of 
  older 
  date, 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  published 
  by 
  name 
  only 
  and 
  

   by 
  their 
  author 
  marked 
  »ms;. 
  

  

  In 
  this 
  pamphlet 
  I 
  entirely 
  adopt 
  the 
  terminulogy 
  of 
  

   Mr 
  Clarke 
  and 
  other 
  english 
  and 
  american 
  botanists, 
  as 
  for 
  

   instance 
  the 
  genera 
  Pi/creus, 
  3Iariscus, 
  Bulhostylis 
  and 
  y>FAco- 
  

   charisy, 
  concerning 
  several 
  species 
  of 
  which 
  I 
  here 
  publish 
  

   the 
  first 
  description, 
  I 
  cannot 
  avoid 
  to 
  take 
  the 
  responsal)i- 
  

   lity, 
  and 
  the 
  reader 
  will 
  find, 
  thus, 
  as 
  the 
  rule 
  is, 
  my 
  name 
  

   as 
  author 
  for 
  some 
  species, 
  printed 
  liere 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  time, 
  

   even 
  in 
  the 
  ease 
  that 
  Mr. 
  Clarke 
  has 
  many 
  j^ears 
  ago 
  on 
  

   labels 
  given 
  the 
  same 
  name 
  in 
  »ms», 
  or, 
  on 
  my 
  request, 
  sup- 
  

   plied 
  with 
  the 
  name 
  a 
  short 
  description. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  and 
  forms 
  enumerated 
  in 
  this 
  list 
  amount 
  

   to 
  170. 
  The 
  new 
  ones 
  are 
  12, 
  and 
  amongst 
  them 
  one, 
  Fleuro- 
  

   stachys 
  lomja, 
  which 
  has 
  for 
  GO 
  ^^ears 
  lain 
  unknown 
  in 
  this 
  

   Herbarium. 
  Some 
  others 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  observed 
  in 
  Brazil 
  

   before,

  etc. 
  

  

  Beside 
  the 
  new 
  species, 
  I 
  pulilish 
  now 
  on 
  the 
  plates 
  

   figures 
  of 
  a 
  few 
  others, 
  thinking 
  an 
  exact 
  drawing 
  of 
  flora] 
  

   analyses 
  necessary 
  for 
  a 
  clear 
  conception 
  of 
  rare 
  and 
  critical 
  

   plants.
