Names
CYPERUS derreilema Steud. [family CYPERACEAE], in Flora, 1842, 585. —Steud. Syn. Pl. Glum. ii. 20; A. Rich. Tent. Fl. Abyss, ii. 488; Boeck. in Linnæa, xxxv. 583; C. B. Clarke in Durand & Schinz, Conspect. Fl. Afr. v. 556; Engl. Hochgebirgsfl. Trop. Afr. 141.
Information
Tall, robust. Umbel 4–7 in. in diam., dense with innumerable heads, red. Spikelets 1/4– 1/3 by 1/10 in. (i.e., larger than in C. fischerianus), moderately compressed, somewhat turgid, soft. Glumes rather close together on the rhachilla, not rigid nor mucronate; otherwise as C. fischerianus .
Distribution
Abyssinia Nile Land in the middle region of Mount Silke, Schimper, 659! and without precise locality, Schimper, 534!British East Africa Nile Land Ruwenzori, 10,000 ft., in the bamboo forest, Scott-Elliot, 7731!
Notes
This species again is exceedingly near the preceding; and the difficulty of diagnosing it is not lessened by the fact that in Schimper, 659 (the type of authors), the spikelets have been attacked by smut, and no good nut is to be seen.
