• Comment: Mueller lists "Cyperus auricomus = C. digitatus, ...". Since Cyperus auricomus Sieber ex Spreng. was previously accepted by Mueller on p. 125 of the Systematic Census (1882), Cyperus digitatus Roxb. is here treated as being a newly-accepted name in this Supplement with C. auricomus in synonymy.
