N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

I have doubts about identity. It is a poor specimen; there are no leaves and the bract from
one of the female spikes is probably missing. The utricles will confirm or otherwise
