• Comment: The name “Cladium capillaceum Cheeseman var. capillaceum” is listed by A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 732 (1991), but since the species name is illegitimate this autonym is not established, in accordance with ICN Art. 27.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
• Comment: Authorship of this replacement name is here accepted as ascribed under ICN Art. 46.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018), as contributions from Clarke are acknowledged by Cheeseman in the preface (p. vii) and in the introduction to the treatment of Cyperaceae (p. 763).
• Comment: nom. illeg., nom. superfl., as the epithet capillaris was available in Cladium in 1906 and thus ought to have been adopted by Clarke (ICN Art. 52.1 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).
