Cyperaceae in Namibia A. 1. Annotated checklist; 2. Cyperaceae types; 3. List of common names B. 1. Uses and Ethnobotanical references A.1. Annotated checklist Explanatory notes • This list is a consolidation of Podlech (1967), Kolberg et al. (1992), Clarke & Mannheimer (1999a, 1999b) and Archer (2003) and includes previously unpublished information. • Podlech (1967) and Clarke & Mannheimer (1999a) may be consulted for identification guides and distribution notes (bearing in mind that some non-Namibian species are included). • All names including synonyms are arranged alphabetically. Valid names are indicated in bold, followed on successive indented lines by synonyms applicable to Namibia; these are given in parentheses. Synonyms are italicised and followed by the valid name in bold. Synonyms given by Podlech (1967) are repeated unless problematic. Author corrections of previous publications are not commented on. • Species previously recorded incorrectly for Namibia, uncertain records and notes are in smaller font. • Specimen citations are provided for species added since Podlech (1967) and those seen by Archer are annotated with a ! following the herbarium acronym. (PRE is the acronym for the National Herbarium, National Botanical Institute, Pretoria.) • Symbols: An asterisk (*) following the name denotes an introduced taxon. Uncertain synonymy is denoted by a ? (usually because types have not yet been seen by Archer). C refers to notes on common names given in Section A.3. U refers to notes on uses given in Section B.1.
