Notes
According to BENTHAM F. acicularis and F. setacea differ in the style (glabrous in acicularis, ciliate in setacea) and the number of stamens (1 and 3 respectively). In the type collection of F. acicularis the style is ciliate ("stylo basi dilatatâ nudâ" R. BROWN), and in both F. acicularis and F. setacea there are 1 or 2 stamens. I have not seen SCHULTZ 79, type collection of F. australica BOECK., in which the style is said to be glabrous.
In the upper flowers of the spikelet I frequently find the upper flowers female, without a trace of stamens; cf. F. androgyna R.BR.
