Remarks
The name Cyperus diandrus var. castaneus (Pursh) Torr. (1836) is a new combination based on C. flavescens var. castaneus Pursh (1813). Watson (Bot. California 2: 214. 1880) used the name C. diandrus var. castaneus. Kükenthal (l.c., pp. 382-383) treated C. diandrus var. castaneus as a synonym of C. rivularis; on p. 344, Kükenthal published ‘var. ß. castaneus (S. Wats.) Kükenth. comb. nova. — C. diandrus var. castaneus S. Wats. Bot. Calif. II (1880) 214 (excl. synon.)’ and cited C. diandrus var. capitatus Britton (1886) as a synonym. Since ‘C. diandrus var. castaneus S. Wats.’ does not exist, Kükenthal’s publication of ‘var. ß. castaneus (S. Wats.) Kükenth’ is corrected as ‘var. ß. castaneus Kük.’ and treated as a superfl. name for C. diandrus var. capitatus.
