Victorian Plants. 475- 



Fruit-cover always glabrous. 



Rather tall ; leaves broadish-linear ; floral leaves elongated ; 

 spikelets few, distant, rather long, nearly cylindrical, the 

 terminal one entirely staminate and sometimes accessorily 

 doubled or tripled, the others pistillate ; floral bracts 

 pointed ; fruit -cover turgid, attenuated into a rather long 

 apex. C. Guuniaua. 



2012. Spikelets more than one from most of the axils. 



Tall ; leaves very long, broad-linear ; floral leaves also much 

 elongated, their stalks closely cylindrical ; spikelets 



' usually many even to the number of twenty, much elon- 

 gated, slender, the majority long-stalked and thus some- 

 what pendent, the few upper staminate, the others largely 

 or some completely pistillate and often from two to five 

 together ; bracts pale yellowish-brown or to some extent 

 colorless, suddenly pointed ; fruit-cover rather long, 

 trigonous- ellipsoid, streaked, much attenuated into the 

 bidenticular summit and also constricted towards the 

 base, rough along the angles. C. long'ifolia. 



Spikelets all single, and from distinct axils 2013 



2013. Bracts of the pistillate flowers gradually pointed. 



Tall ; stems robust ; leaves long, broad-linear ; floral leaves 

 also much elongated ; spikelets several, distant, almost 

 erect, rather slender, the lowest often particularly long, 

 one to three of the upper entirely staminate, the others 

 pistillate ; fruit-cover comparatively long, greenish, 

 smooth, few-streaked, trigonous-ovate, much attenuated 

 towards the bidenticular summit. C. alsophila. 



Bracts of the pistillate flowers setular-pointed. 



Often very tall ; stems robust, rough along the angle ; leaves 

 very long, broad-linear ; floral leaves also much elongated, 

 all rough at the edges ; spikelets few or several, distant, 

 mostly very long, cylindrical, the terminal one staminate, 

 the others pistillate, on long almost capillary stalks and 

 thus bending downward ; bracts proportionately small, 

 particularly narrow, long- and rough-pointed ; fruit-cover 

 very spreading, greenish, trigonous-ellipsoid, closely 

 streaked, pungently attenuated towards the bifid summit, 

 constricted at the base. C. Fseuclo-Cyperus.
