Cyperaceae Juss.
Scleria grandis Labill. , legitimate scientific apni Labillardière, J.J.H. de (1800), Relation du Voyage a la Recherche de la Perouse 1: 107 [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "We ... were often stopped in our progess by a new species of the Scleria, to which I gave the name of Scleria grandis, as it frequently grows to the height of twelve feet. Its leaves are as sharp at the edges as a piece of glass; its berries are oval and of a reddish colour, and contain a sort of almond, which the parrots frequently feed upon, not withstanding the hardness of the shell which surrounds it." From the context of this passage it is clear that the locality is the north-eastern part of Recherche Bay and the date is 1 May 1792 (A.M.Buchanan, pers. comm. 2005).
  • Comment: Not in Index Kewenisis.
