3210E751FF821115FFC3516A1685C75B.taxon	description	Notes: While describing K. pseudoalata, the authors compared it with K. eglandulosa Govind. & Ramani and the African species K. alata Nees. However, a study of the type of K. pseudoalata revealed that the characters match very well with those of C. tenuifolius (= K. tenuifolia), except the slightly bigger spikelets and achenes. It is not at all related to K. eglandulosa, the type of which is a short immature specimen of K. melanosperma Nees (= C. melanospermus (Nees) Valck. Sur.) (Prasad, 2017). Kyllinga alata, distributed in tropical and southern Africa, bears a head comprising a single glomerule, 4 – 6.5 mm long spikelets and 1.6 – 1.8 mm long blackish achenes. In contrast, the inflorescence in the type of K. pseudoalata is an ovoid head of 3 – 5 glomerules, spikelets 2.5 – 3 mm long, achenes c. 1.3 (– 1.5) mm long and yellowish-brown. Since almost all the characters match those of C. tenuifolius and slightly larger spikelets and achenes are only minor variations, K. pseudoalata (= C. pseudoalatus) is treated here as a synonym of C. tenuifolius.	en	V.
