Notes
The character “solitary” or “clustered” spikelets has been used as of “sectional” value in Fimbristylis; and Kunth therefore put forward F. consanguinea as a new species. But the character is not of specific value; nor is so the character taken from the flattening of the top of stem. Boeckeler, perhaps rightly, unites this whole series of plants under F. autumnalis, Roem. et Schult. (i.e. Scirpus autumnalis, Linn.). Where the species, or varieties, are so close together, it is not possible to state the distribution, except as matter of opinion.
