• Type: "West-Queensland: dürre Hügel bei Cloncurry (DOMIN, II. 1910)."

• Comment: Domin proposes two alternative names for a single taxon, Mariscus xerophilus (p. 438) and Cyperus xerophilus (p. 445). As this publication was effected prior to 1 January 1953 both alternative names are here accepted as validly published following ICN Art. 36.3 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
