specimens from Drummond, and I believe I have all. Among Drummond's
plants in Lindley's collection, I see that N. v. [Nees von] Esenbeck notices Cyperus 
elliottianus, St. Louis, Cyp. [Cyperus] filicinus, St. Louis and Columbia from Douglas), C. repens, 
St. Louis, C. kyllingioides St. Louis (I suspect he means C. manicoides, for the 
[E.?] Indians C. kyllingioides is surely not found in America). C. speciosus, St. 
Louis (of this I know nothing, Nees confuses it with C. strigosus, but says that 
the spikelets are fewer flowered), Kyllingia pumila, St. Louis (this is 
the only species recognized among Drummond's by N. ab E., but the only species 
of the genus, among Drummond's St. Louis ones is 8-12 inches high, but certainly 
exhibits the characters of pumila, altho' I suspect the N. American K. microcephala 
to be the same, Nees says K. pumila (Mich. [Michaux]) capitute simpliciterna
