Cyperaceae Eleocharis
DEPTO. SANTA CrüZ, Prov. Guarayos, “Los Ángeles”
ranch, 5.6 km (by air) E of main plaza of Ascención de
Guarayos, on gravel road to La Chonta.
15°53’10”S, 63°08’08”W. alt. 215 m.
Extensive “curichi”, i.e. shallow marsh, at this time with
little standing water and many of the aquatics stranded on
wet mud, the center dominated by large, coarse Panicum
(no. 58832) and Cyperus (no. 58831).
Few stems in a clump, but seems to form colonies. Spikes in all
stages, especially conspicuous in the pistillate phase when the
white stigmas are exsert. Flowering culms half or less the height
of the mature ones.
