Notes

I have not seen the type. According to , it is synonymous with F. nukahiwensis . In the Paris Herbarium there are some specimens determined by CLARKE as F. separanda, from "Baie de Sanpoong- Sumatra, detroit de la Sonde. Voyage de l'Astrolabe et de la Zelee 1838-1840; M. HOMBRON, 1841". They represent a species related to F. dichotoma (L.) VAHL, with very short, narrow leaves, glumes hairy in the upper part, and nuts with 16-18 longitudinal series of epidermal cells on either face.
The specimens of the Astrolabe expedition are often mislabelled, and it is very unlikely that HOMBRON collected the plants in S. Sumatra. (Sanpoong should possibly be Lampong).
