Notes
Flor. Dec Bolus no. 4233 is the type of F.Bolusii Boeck and is identical with Burchell no 8152 which is the type of F.lithosperma Boeck. The cofusion over this distinct species appears to have arisen in that there are two plants in the Drege distribution marked Ficinia striata Kunth. One of this is F.lithosperma. The other with a slender culm and subdecompound head is the plant described as Ficinia pallens, Nees (=Schoenus pallens schrader) and is as Kunth estinated it is a form of a var. F.Setiformis. C.B.Clarke May 1888.
