Notes
The determination remains somewhat doubtful as long as no fruits of the New Guinean plants are known. According to S. T. BLAKE, l.c., the most variable of the Australasian species. The Malesian plants differ from the few Australian ones I have seen in the slightly longer glumes and the c. ⅓ mm long, more or less bristly appendage of the connective. In the Australian specimens the glumes are up to 4½ mm long and the c. 1/5 mm long appendage of the connective is smooth or almost so.
