Notes. – The spelling of the species epithet varies. It was described by Chiovenda in Malpighia (vol. 35: 65. 1939) as C. cundudoensis . This issue of Malpighia is present in the K library, and we have seen a copy of the species description. However, the usual citation is C. cunduduensis, following Index Kewensis (Suppl. X (1936–1940: 68, 1947) with reference to Atti della Reale Accademia d’Italia. Memorie delle classe di scienze fisiche, matematiche e naturali (vol. 11: 60, 1940). A copy of this article, Plantae novae aut minus notae ex Aethiopia (pp. 17–67), is present at the G Library, dated on cover page “1940-XVIII”, but at the end of the article “Roma, 1941-XIX”. The article arrived at the Academy on 22 August 1939, and was presented on 18 November 1939.

An illustration is available in THULIN (1995: 135) and the taxon is cited under Cyperus in EDWARDS et al. (1997: 465).
