The Flora of British India, being a local Flora, does not in 

 general cite synonyms or localities foreign to India. I have given 

 below as „Additional synonymy" and „Additional Geography" the 

 synonymy and geography referring to plants collected in and round 

 Siam ; and also, in a slighter degree, some of the general synonymy 

 and geography. 



I have added no „species inquirendae" ; there are several hun- 

 dred species of Gyperaceae collected in Eastern India, China, Malaya; 

 it would cause no surprise for any one of these to be met with in 

 Siam. It is better, therefore, for the present, to confine the Koh 

 Chang list to the Priwiitiae of the Flora collected there.

K. monocephala is especially a maritime and island species ; it is

 all the American plants called by authors Kyll, monocephala are some 

 other species — mostly they are K. brevifolia Rottb.
