[Note: It is likely that drawing of S. cuspidatus labelled ‘Tab XVIII, Fig. 3 ’ in RottbØll (1773) is based on the specimen at C, because the stamp on the reverse side of the specimen indicates that it is from RottbØll’ s personal herbarium, and there is a reference to the figure in RottbØll (1773) on the reverse side of the specimen that matches with his handwriting. Based on the age of the specimen and our knowledge of early botanical exploration in South Africa (see Glen and Germishuizen, 2010 ), we think that this specimen probably originated from Thunberg’ s collection. Furthermore, we also think that this specimen probably originated in the eastern areas of the Western Cape Province or adjacent areas of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa based on Thunberg’ s itinerary and the morphological characters of the specimen.]. [Note: Nees von Esenbeck (1834) lists E. cuspidatus as one of the specimens of Elynanthus that he examined. Since he indirectly refers to [ Schoenus ] cuspidatus in this list, this is a valid publication of E. cuspidatus .]. Scirpus [as Schoenus ] cuspidatus Roem. and Schult. in J.J. Roemer and J.A. Schultes, Syst. Veg., ed. 15 bis 2: 67 (1817). [Note: In their description of Schoenus cuspidatus , Roemer and Schultes (1817 , p. 67) incorrectly cited the species as ‘ Scirpus cuspidatus ’ Rottboell. It appears that they accidently swapped the genus name Scirpus for Schoenus in this description.]. Elynanthus gracilis Nees, Linnaea 10: 189 (1835) , pro parte. non Linnaea 9: 298 (1834) , nom. nud.

[Note: K ukenthal € (1931) states that the authority of Tetraria cuspidata (Rottb.) C.B.Clarke f. gracilis is “(Nees) Boeckeler”, but we think that he was mistaken, because Boeckeler only mentions E. gracilis has a ‘ forma minor ’ ( Boeckeler 1874b , p. 259) and does not explicitly designate g racilis as a ‘ forma ’.]. [Note: Confusion exists whether E. gracilis should be a synonym of S. cuspidatus or Schoenus exilis (Levyns) T.L.Elliott & Muasya , or given species status. For example, recent treatments have placed it as a synonym of S. cuspidatus ( Clarke, 1900 , p. 278) , a forma of S. cuspidatus (K ukenthal €, 1931, p. 187) and a synonym of S. exilis ( Levyns, 1947 , p. 82) . Based on the characters of Sieber 108 , which is one of the specimens cited by ( Nees von Esenbeck 1835b , p. 189), we have decided to maintain this name as a synonym of S. cuspidatus . More detailed genetic work including intensive sampling of the different S. cuspidatus variants across their distributional range will be required to resolve this taxonomic uncertainty.].

Nutlet beak (0.3‒)0.6‒0.8(‒1.1) mm long, hispid. Flowering: Flowering specimens have been collected every month of the year. Distribution and ecology: Schoenus cuspidatus is a species with a relatively wide geographical distribution compared to other South African congeners. Its distribution spans most of the Western Cape Province , as well as western regions of the Eastern Cape Province ( Fig. 13 ). The elevational range of S. cuspidatus is also broad, with specimens collected from near sea level to over 1500 m . This species grows in a variety of wet and dry habitats on various parent materials (e.g. sandstone, granite), but it is mostly found on mountain slopes in the fynbos vegetation type . Diagnosis: Schoenus cuspidatus displays a significant amount of vegetative and reproductive variability. The main characters that correspond to this species include cuspidate spikelets ( Fig. 5F ) and broad elliptic nutlets ( Fig. 6F ), which are traits shared by S. loreus ( Figs. 5D and 6D ). This latter species, however, has inflorescences that are wider and longer than those of S. cuspidatus . In addition, S. loreus usually has relatively wide, non-channelled flat leaves ( Fig. 3D ) compared to the channelled, distally terete leaves of S. cuspidatus ( Fig. 4A ). Another similar species is S. riparius , which is a larger, more robust plant with longer, more dense inflorescences compared to S. cuspidatus ( Fig. 4 ). Fig. 12. Inflorescence variation in S. cuspidatus . The black scale bar represents 10 mm. Fig. 13. Documented locations of S. cuspidatus . The circumscription of S. cuspidatus has been a source of confusion for several botanists, confounded by probable hybridization within the S. cuspidatus group ( Levyns, 1950 , p. 124). In addition, several intermediates, including those between S. cuspidatus and S. auritus ( Bolus 7178, Elliott, Muasya & Muthaphuli TE2016_197, Elliott, Muasya & Muthaphuli TE2016_198, Esterhuysen 17,299a, Levyns 7599, Michell s.n., Pillans 3879 ), S. cuspidatus and Schoenus bolusii (C.B.Clarke) T.L.Elliott & Muasya ( Levyns 8817 ), as well as S. cuspidatus and S. exilis ( Bos 188, Stokoe 2164 ) were identified by the authors during their investigation of herbarium specimens and plants in the field. We postulate that the taxonomic difficulties in this group are a result of its recent speciation, as many of the variants that have been observed might be incipient species. Preliminary genome size, chromosome count and next generation RAD-seq data collected by the authors also suggest these patterns; however, detailed analyses are required before they are confirmed. We have noted four main variants during our detailed examination of S. cuspidatus (see Fig. 12 ), which have some geographic affinities. However, the presence of intermediates within each of these variants has made it impossible to delineate new species. (1) Cederberg variant — this variant sometimes has very short and thin (awl-shaped) leaves and spikelets that reach up to 7.5 mm in length, which is generally longer than other variants. The following specimens are examples of this variant: Esterhuysen 7580, Esterhuysen 12,097, Esterhuysen 15,289 . (2) Cape Peninsula variant — the spikelets of this variant are about 6 mm long but can be slightly wider than the other variants. The leaves are usually about half the culm height, although specimens with longer leaves almost to the height of the culm have been collected (e.g. Wolley-Dod 2134 ). It is unclear whether these longer-leaved plants represent intraspecific variation due to site characters ( Levyns, 1947 ). Examples of this variant include Esterhuysen 15,747, Levyns 8710 and Elliott TE2016_285 . (3) Western Cape mountain variant — these plants are the most variable, but there is a tendency to have narrower leaves and spikelets, with less aggregation of spikes into clusters compared to the other variants (e.g. Taylor 5720, Levyns 8901 ). Specimens resembling S. exilis have been collected from several areas, including the Paarl Mountains ( Kruger M187 ) and Somerset West ( Parker 3468 ). The broad elliptic nutlets of these specimens place them within our circumscription of S. cuspidatus ; and (4) Eastern variant — this variant is most like the Cape Peninsula variant, but it is less robust with more scarious lower glumes (e.g. Fourcade 1419, Esterhuysen 6565, Elliott & Betz TE2016_275 ). Additional collections examined South Africa .
