CYPERACE^E OF THE PHILIPPINES: A LIST OF THE 
SPECIES IN THE KEW HERBARIUM. 
By C. B. Clarke . 1 
(Kew, England.) 
The present list contains only the species in the Kew Herbarium and 
not quite all of these. I have added some of the more important 
synonomy relating to the Philippines and adjacent lands. The short 
notes on the genera and species are not given as sufficient diagnoses, 
but are intended to be useful to assist collectors in the field. 
The present list is not therefore complete in any respect for Philippine 
Cyperacece , which perhaps is of minor importance when so many species 
and localities are being constantly added. The list will have the merit 
that each species, stands on plants examined, though the various species 
may not invariably have been determined correctly.

In all the Philippine species of this genus, the spikelet is 1-nutted.
