Revue de Zoologie et de Botanique africaines 24: 295 ( Chermezon 1934).

ACCEPTED NAME ( POWO 2025). — Cyperus scaettae (Cherm.) Reynders, Phytotaxa 166: 42 ( Larridon et al. 2014).

REMARKS

This name was already lectotypified by Larridon et al. (2014) – i.e. prior to the publication of Mesterházy et al. (2022) and was therefore overlooked by us – based on the collection H. Scaetta 58M from BR with an isolectotype at K.

Out of the five syntypes cited by Chermezon (1934) in the protologue only the two Scaetta gatherings ( 58M and 2418) seem to be extant. Both were mentioned as possible types in Mesterházy et al. (2022). The designation by Larridon et al. (2014) is therefore plausible.
