In this case as in many others, there are half-a-dozen species admitted, 
which are so closely allied to Hypol. latifolium that they might be sunk 
in it (some have been so sunk by some authors); to do this would of 
course widen considerably the geographic range of the species. 
Klong Munsé and Klong Majum. riverbanks in the jungle.

Scleria Berg.

[1898], p. 102.

S. tessellata, Brongn. in Duperrey Voy. Coquille pars 2 [1829], p. 164. 
S. scrobiculata, Zollinger ms. (partim). 
Carex Ambonica, Rumph. Herb. Amb. v. 6, p. 20, t. 8, fiy. 1. 
This appears a maritime species — i.e. so far as known. 
Klong Munsé, riverbanks in the jungle.

Hook. f. FI. Brit. Ind. v. 6. p. 694; C. B. Clarke in Journ. Linn. Soe, v. 34 
[1898], p. 103. 
Additional synonymy:

p. 61; Benth. Fl. Hongk. p. 400; Hance in Ann. Sc. Nat. Ser. 4, v. 18 [1862].

This species is largely maritime; but, like Hypolytrum latifolium 
(& others), is reappears at the base of the Mountains, 250 miles from 
the sea. 
Scleria levis Retz belongs to the group of Seleria which has (Hook. 
f. F]. Brit. Ind. v. 6, p. 692) ,Leaves (that is those next below the bracts) 
imperfectly opposite or ternate*. In the Koh Chang plants the uppermost 
leaves below the bracts are not imperfectly ternate. This leaf-character | 
consider as of smal] importance — except for a first sorting of Scleria. As 
to these plants, I have the same form from Borneo (Haviland n. 1917).
