Dear all, The correct name for this species is *Kyllinga nemoralis *(Forst.) Dandy ex. Hutch. & Dalz. (Fl. W. Trop. Africa 2:486. 1936). *Kyllinga monocephala** *Rottb. is an illegitimate name since Rottboel referred *Schoenus coloratus* L. (now Rhyncospora colorata (L.) H. Pfeiff.) as a synonym in his protologue (Descr. lcon. Rar. Nov. Pl.: 13. t.4. 1773). The next validly published name is *Thryocephalan nemoralis** *J. R. & G. Forst (Char. Gen. Pl.: 130. 1776) which became the basionym for *K. nemoralis.* * * *regards*
