Abstract

The genus Schoenoplectiella Lye (2003: 20) (Cyperaceae) was recently established to accommodate species earlier usually placed in Schoenoplectus (Reichenbach, 1846: 40) Palla (1888: 49) or Scirpus Linnaeus (1753: 47). As currently circumscribed, this genus contains about 50 species (Lye 2003, Kim et al. 2012, Govaerts et al. 2016). Recent molecular phylogenetic studies (Jung & Choi 2011a, 2011b, Shiels et al. 2014) demonstrated that Schoenoplectiella is a sister group to Schoenoplectus sensu stricto.
