CYPERACE.ZE OF THE PHILIPPINES. 
103 
Plant 1 m. high. Leaves very few, 2 to 7 cm. long, linear, rigid. 
Spikelets with 3 or 4 short ovate glumes at the base, the upper one 
perfecting a nut, succeeded by 10 or 12 oblong, much larger, remarkably 
distichous glumes. I detected in the ripe fruit no hypogynous setae. 
The species is very like Cladium undulatum Thwaites, but the nut is 
smaller and the beak 0.

A young plant, No. 758 Merrill, Palawan (Paragua) may also be referable to
