The difficulties encountered in this group could not be solved bythe application of this key to the numerous specimens I could study. Inthe type specimen of Scirpus pakapakensis Stapf from Borneo, Mt. Kina-balu, the stems are not trigonous. Although in Thwaites CP306 (typecollection of Scirpus subcapitatus) the mucros of the leaf-sheaths andof the outermost glume are practically smooth, they are scaberulous inseveral Indian specimens otherwise quite agreeing with the type collec-tion. In some specimens from Mt. Kinabalu the stems are slightly scaberu-lous at the top; for the rest they agree very well with the type of Scirpusclarkei Stapf.
