FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote 1: Notes were also drawn at a later date from “The Useful Plants of Nigeria,” J. H. Holland. Kew Bulletin, Additional Series.]

[Footnote 2: Macmillan & Co., St. Martin’s St., London, W.C.2 (1926), 20s. net.]

[Footnote 3: The names used for these three groups are applied here for the convenience of the student. The “Parietales” in this sense are not the _Parietales_ of either Bentham & Hooker or of Engler.]

[Footnote 4: The flowers of this family (which consist of 5 usually free sepals, a 5-lobed corolla, 5 stamens and a pistil of 2 carpels) are peculiar (i) by the _coronal_ lobes, either free or connate, simple or double at or inside the mouth of the tube of the corolla; (ii) by the stamens which, although exceptionally free at the base, are usually connate by the filaments; these, with the anthers and their appendages forming the _staminal column_, but the anthers being free or united to the dilated part of the style; the anthers are 2, dehiscing by terminal or lateral slits and are continued on the margins or below the pollen cells by wing-like processes (_anther-wings_); the connectives of the anthers are often produced into membranous (rarely fleshy or inflated) terminal, sometimes connate appendages, or apiculate, or unappendaged; (iii) by the pollen which is either granular or more commonly united into 1 or 2 clavate, waxy masses or _pollinia_; (iv) by the pistil which, although consisting of 2 carpels, is united above into a dilated pentagonal disk; (v) by the fruit consisting of 2 follicles or by abortion one only, the seeds being usually numerous, imbricate, somewhat like fish scales, generally crowned with a tuft of long silky hairs.]

[Footnote 5: Herbs; stems cylindrical or trigonous, solid. Leaves grass- like, tough, but sheaths (except in _Eriospora Schweinfurthiana_) not slit down one side. Infl. umbellate, capitate or panicled, made up of spikes bearing spikelets composed of an axis (_rhachilla_) and of empty or flower-bearing bracts (_glumes_). Fl. minute, 1 or 2-sexual, in axils of glumes. Per. 0, or consisting of 2-6 hypogynous scales or bristles; sta. 1-3, anthers basifixed; style 2-3 branched, or subentire, base often thickened; fruit a compressed or 3-gonous nut.]

[Footnote 6: Differs from _Cyperus_ by never being leafless, by disarticulation of (always winged) rhachilla in one piece above the two lowest empty glumes, and by the spikelets which, in Cyperus never less than 5 fld., may here be as little as 1 fld. (although at times up to 20 fld.).]
