Taxonomy

The original spelling of the name combination is Cyperus setigerus,^[3] Although the orthographic variant Cyperus setiger has been used in some later literature (e.g. McKenzie & Newbold 2020 ^[2]) as the classical spelling of the epithet in the nominative masculine is setiger. However, Articles 23 and 60 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants^[4] do not allow for subsequent emendation in such cases, as does not meet any of the stated exceptions.
