Names
Scleria foliosa Hochst. ex A. Rich. [family CYPERACEAE], Tent. Fl. Abyss. 2: 509 (1851); F.T.A. 8: 503; Nelmes in Kew Bull. 11: 102 (1956); E. A. Robinson in Kew Bull. 18: 525 (1966); Berhaut, Fl. Sén. ed. 2, 359 (1967).
Scleria glandiformis [family CYPERACEAE], of F.W.T.A., ed. 1, 2: 493, partly
Information
Tufted annual 60–100 cm. high, rarely more, with leaves 2–8 mm. wide; lateral panicles solitary, erect, scarcely exserted; in grassy, seasonally wet places.
Habitat
; in grassy, seasonally wet places.
Range
Widespread in tropical Africa, also in Madagascar.
Distribution
Sen.: Ndiar (Oct.) J. & A. Raynal 7664!Iv. C.: Dinderesso (Nov.)Ghana: Bole (Nov.) Harris!N. Nig.: (Sept.) Lely P775! Kufena Hill, Zaria (Sept.) Clayton 1316! Bauchi (Dec.) Haines 76! Biu, Bornu (Nov.) Magaji 8 Oche MG79! Maiduguri, Bornu (Oct.) H. B. Johnston N.36a!
Notes
[A few plants have been collected with characters reminiscent of both S. foliosa and S. schimperana. These represent such a wide range of variation in character association that it seems possible that they may be samples from hybrid populations. Further detailed examination in the field is essential.]
