748 CLXXII. CYPERACE^;. (C. B. Clarke.) \_Carex. 



NEPAL ; Wallich. KHASIA HILLS ; alt. 4500 ft., Griffith (Kew Distrib. 6063), 

 J.D.H. MUNEYFOOE; alt. 4000-5000 ft., C. B. Clarke. DISTBIB. Cochin- 

 China. 



Appears exactly intermediate between C. ligulata, Nees and C. hebecarpa, C. A. 

 Meyer; but it grows mixed with the latter in such a way both in Wallich's 

 collections and in Muneypoor, that it must not be separated from it. This raises 

 a presumption that the whole series of plants included under 0. ligulata, Nees, and C. 

 hebecarpa should be regarded as one species. Boott was much puzzled by the inter- 

 mediate form, and gave it various names; but in reducing it to C. gracilis, he 

 forgot that the style in gracilis is 2-fid.

LASIOLEPIS, Boeck. (in Flora, Ivi. 90, and in Linnaea, xxxviii. 542), referred by 

 its author to Cyperacece, is, as pointed out in Gen. Plant, (iii. 1043) identical with 

 Eriocaulon. The description of the only Indian species, L. brevifolia, is too incom- 

 plete for identification with any previously described Eriocaulon, but answers to 

 several common ones.
