Gahnia aspera. 
Sprengel, syst. veg. ii. 114. 
Mai-Kussa ; Sir Will. Macgregor. 
The advisability of uniting the genera Cladium and Gahnia can 
hardly he questioned ; but as a specific appellation occurs first within 
Gahnia, it is rendered necessary to suppress Cladium, although that 
genus was the earliest defined of the two. On the principles, by 
which they were kept separate, also within the same order the genus 
Carex could be disintegrated. 
SCHOENUS CALOSTACHYUS. 
Poiret, Encycl. Meth. Suppl. ii. 251. 
Sudest-Island, Lousiades ; Sir Will. Macgregor. 
This plant has been identified by Mr. C. B. Clarke, the present 
monographer of Cyperacem, who further states, that it is identical 
with Cyclocampe Waigionensis, Steudel.
