Cyperus nutans var. eleusinoides (Kunth) Haines

Differs from var. nutans by: Inflorescence less compound. Primary rays suberect, the secondary ones often beset with spikelets almost to the base. Spikes shorter, denser. Spikelets usually fewer-flowered. Glumes less remote because of the slightly shorter, c. ½ mm long internodes of the rachilla, more distinctly mucronate (mucro ¼-½ mm). Nut more obovoid, 1.1-1.25 by 0.6-0.7 mm.

In swamps, sometimes abundant, at low altitudes (in Timor at 750 m).
