Abstract

Cyperus stewartii G.C. Tucker, sp. nov. is described. It is known from two collections from Cocos Island (Isla del Coco), Costa Rica, made in 1905. This species is most similar to C. thyrsiflorus and C. lentiginosus, species of the southern U.S., Caribbean slope of Mexico and Central America, and northern South America. It differs from both in its smaller anthers, shorter and narrower floral scales, closer spacing of scales on the rachilla, and very wide spacing of spikelets on the rachilla. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
