Abstract: Cyperus tenuiculmis Boeckeler (Fig. 3) Linnaea 36: 286 (Boeckeler 1870). LECTOTYPE. — India • 1832; Wallich 3321; lectotype (here designated): K[K000592514] • Same data; Isolectotypes: BR[BR0000006595869], G[G 00191594], P[P 00587067]. REMARKS Boeckeler (1870: 286) based his description of Cyperus tenuiculmis primarily on Wallich 3321. In addition, he referred to gatherings from Sierra Leone (Afzelius s.n.), Nupe [Nigeria] (Barter 1573), East India (Hook. & Thoms. s.n.), Batavia [Indonesia] (Jungh. s.n.), Ceylona [Sri Lanka] (Thwaites 807) and Luzon [Philippines] (Haenke s.n.; Meyen s.n.). The gathering Wallich 3321 is preserved in several herbaria, several of which are accessible online (e.g. BR, G, K, and P). The Paris specimen was annotated as isotype by Kern while revising Cyperus for Flora Malesiana. P. Van der Veken did the same for the specimen held in BR. The Wallich herbarium is incorporated in K (initially as K-W) with further material in numerous other herbaria. His type specimens, however, are mainly at K (Stafleu & Cowan 1976 -1988). The Wallich 3321 specimen (K000592514) is here designated as lectotype for C. tenuiculmis.
