Cyperus procerus var. lasiorrhachis
Content
Description
The inflorescence is less compound and more open than in that species, the spikelets are larger and more distant, the anthers longer, and the nuts larger.
Notes
KÜKENTHAL, l.c., mentions from Singapore (MAYER 328 p.p.) var. griffithianus (BOECK.) KÜK. — C. griffithianus , according to him with compound inflorescence and oblong-elliptic glumes. I have not seen the type of C. griffithianus (GRIFFITH s.n. in herb. Boeck.) from India, nor MAYER'S Singapore collection. CLARKE reduced BOECKELER'S species to C. pilosus, but from the original description I might rather refer it to C. procerus var. lasiorrhachis. KAMPHÖVENER 786 (C), also cited by KÜKENTHAL, I take for typical C. procerus on account of the simple inflorescence and the smooth rachis.
