116 SOUTH NIGERIAN PLANTS 



CYPERACE^. 



The collection contains only four species, three of which are 

 distributed in West and Central Tropical Africa ; the fourth 

 3Iapania amjjllvaginata K. Schum. has hitherto been recorded 

 only from the Cameroons. 



GRAMINEiE. 



Comparatively few grasses were collected, and these are 

 mainly of wide distribution in the tropics. Two of special 

 interest are Guaduella Ledermannii Pilger and a specimen which 

 is probably identical with G. Zenheri Pilger ; both these have 

 been previously recorded only from the Cameroons.
