Notes

There is some screw loose here. Fries, describing his laevicaulis, says that the leaves were very broad and the plant larget than vesicaria. He also says that the style is 2-fid. (The modern Cyperologist says this is a "detail".) The stems are here very triquetrous, at top, and scabrous. The teeth of the long linear beak are short. From the density of the fruit spike, I think with Schentz it must be made a var of C. ampullacea (rostrata, Withering) - say var scabricaulis.; The fruit spikes bear a resemblance to those of rhychophysa, but are much narrower than usual. The leaves and basal sheaths do not match at all. The culm at top is triquetrous, very scabrous which does not suit rhynchophysa at all. Mus. bot. Holm.; Rec. May 1891
