Notes
Very near to C. harlandii , and possibly better treated as a race of that species. In C. harlandii the leaves are broader (up to 3 cm wide), the bracts much shorter, often not or hardly overtopping spikelet, the glumes of the male spikelet rounded at the apex and muticous, those of the female spikelets but shortly awned, the teeth of the utricles shorter (c. ½ mm long), and the beak of the nut slenderer, c. 1.5 mm long. It is known from South and Central China.
