Notes
"Cyperus (Diclidium) fragilis Liebm. sp. nova. is described by him in his Mexic. Halvgr. p.38, and is stated [illegible] have 10 nuts [illegible] the spicule, and from the full description appears [illegible] have [illegible] = C. ferax, I.C.Rich. The present example has however only 2 nuts at the spicule, and appears to me infected by some fungoid. The wings of the rhachilla, usually thin hyaline, are here thick [illegible] cellular and enclose the nut [illegible] 5 exactly." - C.B.Clarke Oct. 1891. Illustration given.
