Cyperus eastaneus Willd. ; H. S. 722. 
Reported by Voigt from Serampore ; this record needs confirma- 
tion and is not very probable ; the species is widespread in India? 
but is always rare and there are no specimens from Bengal in the 
Calcutta Herbarium. It is possible that the plant intended by Voigt 
is not true C. castaneus but the form of C, cuspidatus with chestnut- 
coloured fruits.
